Household Food Security Programme - Project Leader's Reflection

Enabling students to develop the competencies to provide support to communities to become food secure was the aim of the Household Food Security Programme (HFSP). Alice Barlow-Zambodla, the project leader provides a personal reflection on the two year pilot that came to a conclusion during 2011.  The project was a partnership between Unisa and Saide with funding from the WK Kellogg Foundation.
