Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food aid is a controversial form of development assistance and this book, first published in 1979, seeks to counter allegations from critics by taking account of both direct and indirect affects. Based on field research in Tunisia, Botswana, Upper Volta and Lesotho, it considers aid from the UK, EEC, USAID, the World Food Programme, Canada and France, and draws a number of policy-orientated conclusions about the impact of food aid on nutrition, consumer prices and agricultural production. In the light of the evidence from field studies it is shown that many of the claims advanced by food aid supporters and by critics cannot be sustained, and that the real impact of food aid is rather different from that assumed by the conventional wisdom on the subject.

Book excerpt: Selected papers presented on the A/D/C seminar on 'Improving the Developmental Effectiveness of Food Aid in Africa', held in Abidjan in August 1981. Seminar discussion focused primarily on the role of food aid in fostering agricultural development, where the latter includes production, processing, and marketing of products; human nutrition; and the operation of food systems as affected by various policies and institutions. This focus did not reflect insensitivity to broader scope of economic development. Rather, it emerged from a recognition of the central role played by inadequate production in Africa's current economic problems and from a realization of the important role that food aid may have on coping with these problems

Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa is the most food insecure region in the entire world, and is one of the largest recipients of international food aid. However, there is no conclusion yet on the effectiveness of food aid. Some believe food aid to be effective, others do not, and some believe food aid is effective only under certain conditions. One primary drawback of existing studies is the overlook of heterogeneity among different types of food aid. I argue that one key factor that determines the effectiveness of food aid is its fungibility. Fungible is an adjective describing goods; being of such a nature as to be freely exchangeable or replaceable. Food aid that is less fungible is more difficult to convert into cash or other goods. I argue that food aid with lower levels of fungibility (such as Emergency Food Aid) is more likely to lower malnutrition indicators in recipient countries rather than food aid with higher levels of fungibility (such as Project and Program Food Aid). To test my argument, I have collected a dataset of sub-Saharan countries from 1988 to 2012. Empirical results show that Emergency Food Aid does indeed have a significant positive impact on malnutrition indicators in Sub-Saharan Africa; Project Aid has no significant impact on these indicators; and Program Food Aid has a negative impact on malnutrition indicators. These findings have important policy implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. approach of providing in-kind food aid has assisted millions of hungry people for more than 50 years. But, there have been reports on limitations to its efficiency and effectiveness. To improve U.S. food assistance, Congress has authorized some funding for local and regional procurement (LRP) -- donors' purchase of food aid in countries affected by food crises or in a country within the same region. Through analysis of agency documents, interviews with agency officials, experts, and practitioners, and fieldwork in four African countries, this report examines: (1) LRP's impact on the efficiency of food aid delivery; (2) its impact on economies where food is procured; and (3) U.S. legal requirements that could affect agencies' use of LRP.
