This Assembly specifically concerned the Food Relief and Engagements Committee which was created under the Forum, and allowed for these stakeholders to meet for the first time with respondents from the food relief efforts survey. This survey mapped food relief efforts during the national lockdown. In addition to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/food-relief-mapping\/\">mapping<\/a> process which was done with the data collected from the surveys, the committee wrote a short report summarising the findings, and made several recommendations. The survey was sent out with the initial goal of making these efforts more visible to government, the Solidarity Fund and other funders, as well as to make these efforts more visible to each other.<\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Press-release_food-relief-assembly.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Release National Food Crisis Forum &#8211; Food Relief Efforts Assembly 12th August 2020 South Africa\u2019s Worsening Food Crisis Is a Humanitarian Emergency To: Mr Cyril Ramaphosa, President, Republic of South Africa Ms Lindiwe Zulu, Minister of Social Development Ms Gloria Serobe, Solidarity Fund Chairperson Ms Wendy Tlou, Solidarity Fund Official On the 11th of&#8230; <\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/press-release-food-relief-efforts-assembly\/\" class=\"excerpt-read-more\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6799"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6799\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6801,"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6799\/revisions\/6801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.safsc.org.za\/dev\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
