CHC conducted a comparative case study on famine-risk emergency context in Nigeria and identified practical recommendations and best practices. 

This research analyzed political constraints and factors constraining the linkage between information, analysis and action to develop better practice to protect the independence of analysis underpinning declarations of famine or other severe humanitarian emergencies.
