Abstract: Incoherence in coordination between institutions that address climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk reduction (DRR) and food security (FS) policy areas exacerbates FS challenges in most developing countries, including South Africa. To address such incoherencies, this article seeks to develop a coordination mechanism that could help in aligning FS functions undertaken by CCA, DRR and FS institutions. The coordination mechanism was developed using aspects from the functional resonance analysis method (input, time, preconditions, resources, control and output) and data gathered through policy analysis, key informant interviews, and written responses. The coordination mechanism allows for simultaneous participation of relevant stakeholders through a systematic characterisation of FS functions. It allows policymakers and practitioners to identify variabilities, challenges, and opportunities that should be considered before any FS activity is executed.
