    ALNAP, an international interagency forum working to improve the quality and accountability of humanitarian action, is offering you a new paper: Lessons Paper on the Food Price Crisis. The paper aims to assist practitioners undertaking operational relief and recovery work in the context of high food prices. It lays out nine ideas and lessons in two broad categories: analysis and planning; and implementation. The nine points include lessons from available research and experience, as well as some new suggestions of as-yet untried approaches.
