Abstract

Under the theme NGOs and Their Role in Promoting Food Security; the Case of the Intermôn-Oxfam Partnership and ÂPOJ in Marracuene (2002-2003), the present work had as its object of study the intervention of NGOs in the promotion of food security, in the specific case the intervention of the partners Intermón-Oxfam, international NGO, and APOJ, national NGO, and aimed to understand the extent to which NGOs contribute to the promotion of food security in rural communities. The problem that gave rise to this work is the ineffectiveness and sustainability of the NGO's interventions in the development process, about half a century after its emergence, to complement the government's efforts in this process. To understand this problem, the design and implementation processes, relevance, impact and sustainability of the Food Security Project for Families Affected by Drought in Marracuene (ProSAFASM) were analyzed, as well as the relationship between the different actors involved in it. , namely the managers and technicians of this project, the administrative authorities of Marracuene and the community leaders and communities benefiting from the project. The results of the study reveal the ineffectiveness and sustainability of the intervention of Intermón-Oxfem and APOJ in promoting food security. The factors that explain this situation are the financial dependence of APOJ in relation to Intermón-Oxfem, the deficiencies in coordination between these NGOs, the weakness of APOJ in terms of human and material resources, the poor quality of the project's feasibility study, as well. as the natural calamities (drought and pests) that affect the district of Marracuene.(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
