The Regional Hunger and Vulnerability Programme (RHVP) promotes change and provides support to practitioners and policy makers in southern Africa on hunger and vulnerability issues. RHVP is launching a new website on 5 April.
www.wahenga.net will reach a wide and diverse audience and encourage them to engage in the hunger and vulnerability debate.
The website contains a range of material including comments (short editorial pieces on topical issues), briefings (providing more in-depth analysis on hunger and vulnerability issues), reports (substantive presentation and analysis of evidence-building work) and monthly newsletters. Interactive features encourage the user 'to have your say' and a library directs users to a wide range of related information about hunger and vulnerability.
RHVP's Learning Network is responsible for the operation of www.wahenga.net and its associated range of communication products including Comments, Briefings, Reports, Newsletters and media liaison.
