Download or read book European Food Aid Policy written by John Cathie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1997, this book traces the development of European Food Aid Policy from its inception in the 1960s through to the 1990s. This covers the change from a surplus disposal programme in the early days to the present policy. The European Food Aid Policy is one of the few areas of development policy that is European rather than national in character. John Cathie therefore also examines the links forged with non-governmental organizations at an international level, for food aid and humanitarian operations.

Book excerpt: The European Union has provided food aid to those who are most in need for over a quarter of a century. This support has evolved over the years, from the EU Food Distribution programme for the Most Deprived Persons (MDP) launched in 1987, to the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) 2014-2020, which extended support to include basic material goods and social inclusion measures. EU support to the most deprived has evolved in the post-2020 period of EU funding. From 2021, FEAD measures are continuing as part of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), which has introduced more flexibility to the provision of food and basic material assistance by allowing the use of vouchers in the delivery process. It is in this context that this study on e-vouchers for the most deprived has been undertaken. The study provides in-depth evidence on the operation of existing e-voucher schemes in EU Member States, and analysis on the feasibility of support of such schemes by the ESF+. The aim of this research is to support the European Commission, national policymakers and organisations designing and implementing voucher schemes to better understand how these schemes operate, the challenges and benefits they pose in providing effective support to those in need, and their compatibility with the ESF+ regulatory framework.

Download or read book Diverse Approaches to Supporting Europe s Most Deprived written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD) is designed to contribute to the alleviation of the worst forms of poverty in the EU. It supports actions providing food and basic material assistance (e.g. clothing, soap, shampoo) to the most deprived, but also non-material assistance aiming at facilitating social inclusion. So far FEAD, with a budget of EUR 3.8 billion, provided support to 13 million people. During the 2014-2020 programming period, FEAD was implemented in all EU Member States via Operational Programmes (OP) I and II, approved by the European Commission. While OP I covers food and/or basic material assistance, OP II focuses on the social inclusion of the most deprived individuals. However, social inclusion is also implemented through accompanying measures under OP I, responding to the basic material needs of the most disadvantaged and supporting their (re)integration into society. EU Member States were able to choose whether to engage with OP I and/or OP II and to select what type of assistance (food or basic material assistance, or a combination of both) they wish to provide. National authorities and partner organisations often work together in this regard. The FEAD Community is an open membership network bringing together all those who are working to tackle poverty in European countries (i.e. national FEAD managing authorities, organisations delivering or interested in FEAD-funded activities, and EU-level NGOs). The main objective of the FEAD Community is to share good practices and encourage the exchange of ideas among its members. The present catalogue was realised in the framework of the mutual learning activities of the FEAD Community. It showcases and disseminates examples in form of case studies of FEAD-funded initiatives and approaches supporting people with the first steps out of poverty or social exclusion. These include specific projects, policy measures, services or forms of cooperation that could inform and shape FEAD-funded interventions in Member States. The 21 case studies of the catalogue are based in the following Member States: Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia and Sweden. Each case study is presented through a brief summary, contextual information (e.g. geographical scope, time frame, source of funding), its key objectives, its main activities and target group(s), the results achieved, as well as relevant contact details for further information. These case studies were identified by the Mutual Learning Services team supporting the FEAD Community and selected by the European Commission on the basis of the following criteria: relevance, involvement of different actors, effectiveness and transferability. Their aim is to improve the support to the most deprived in our societies under ESF+ and the current programming period 2021-2027.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engaging systematically with severe forms of poverty in Europe, this important book stimulates academic, public and policy debate by shedding light on aspects of deprivation and exclusion of people in absolute poverty in affluent societies. It examines issues such as access to health care, housing and nutrition, poverty related shame, and violence. The book investigates different policy and civic responses to extreme poverty, ranging from food donations to penalisation and “social cleansing” of highly visible poor and how it is related to concerns of ethics, justice and human dignity.

Download or read book The EU World Trade Law and the Right to Food written by Giovanni Gruni and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the European Union has developed a comprehensive strategy to conclude free trade agreements which includes not only prominent trade partners such as Canada, the United States and Japan but also numerous developing countries. This book looks at the existing WTO law and at the new EU free trade agreements with the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa through the lens of the human right to adequate food. It shows how the clauses on the import and export of food included in recent free trade agreements limit the capacity of these countries to implement food security policies and to respect their human rights obligations. This outcome appears to be at odds with international human rights law and dismissive of existing human rights references in EU-founding treaties as well as in treaties between the EU and developing states. Yet, the book argues against the conception in human rights literature that there is an inflexible agenda encoded in world trade law which is fundamentally conflictual with non-economic interests. The book puts forward the idea that the European Union is perfectly placed to develop a narrative of globalisation considering other areas of public international law when negotiating trade agreements and argues that the EU does have the competences and influence to uphold a role of international leadership in designing a sustainable global trading system. Will the EU be ambitious enough? A timely contribution to the growing academic literature on the relation between world trade law and international human rights law, this book imagines a central role for the EU in reconciling these two areas of international law.
