Whilst many developing countries engage in sound policy processes on
macro level as far as economic and social development are concerned,
the day-to-day victual needs of impoverished communities also depend
on sound policies as well as appropriate arrangements, which take effect in the
municipal sphere. Such needs, as food security, is dependant on the establishment
of effective partnership agreements among all stakeholders, including local councils,
district councils as well as metropolitan councils; the actual entities that are responsible
to create the enabling environment in which food security could be enhanced.
In this article, issues relating to food security, partnership models, the
enabling environment, and community involvement in this partnership process,
are discussed briefly. Public administration practitioners should ensure they
contributively involve themselves in this debate. The article concludes by
emphasising the need for a proper and structured approach to be followed, of a
food security policy is due to be operationalised in practice.
