Book Synopsis International Food Assistance by : Thomas Melito
Download or read book International Food Assistance written by Thomas Melito and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 102 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2017-09-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the U.S. approach of providing in-kind food aid has assisted millions of hungry people for more than 50 years, in 2007 GAO reported 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 requested 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.

Book Synopsis Food Aid and the Developing World by : Christopher Stevens
Download or read book Food Aid and the Developing World written by Christopher Stevens and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 175 pages. 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 Synopsis Transmission of World Food Price Changes to African Markets and Its Effect on Household Welfare by : Nicholas Minot
Download or read book Transmission of World Food Price Changes to African Markets and Its Effect on Household Welfare written by Nicholas Minot and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global food crisis of 2007-08 was characterized by a dramatic increase in the prices of agricultural commodities in international markets. Between January 2007 and March 2008, the food price index of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) rose 61%. Staple food crop prices rose even more steeply: over the same period, the prices of wheat and rice doubled, while that of maize increased by 42%. Since then, food prices have declined somewhat, but prices remain significantly higher than the average in 2006. For example, the average price of rice in 2009 is 90% higher than the average level in 2006 (FAO, 2009). High world prices were transmitted to domestic markets, eroding the purchasing power of urban households and other net buyers of food, forcing them to reduce non-food spending and shift to cheaper foods. Poor urban households were particularly affected because they spend a large share of their income on food. At the national level, food importing countries faced balance of payment pressure as the cost of food imports rose. In addition, the cost of operating food and nutrition programs at the national and international level rose steeply. In dozens of countries, the high prices sparked demonstrations and sometimes riots. A number of countries, including Argentina, India, Russia, and Vietnam, responded by restricting rice and wheat exports in an attempt to keep domestic prices from rising. Finally, at the international level, food aid budgets were stretched, as increased need in developing countries coincided with decreased purchasing power of the World Food Programme and other food aid agencies (Benson et al. 2008).

Book Synopsis Smallholder Farmer Participation in Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement by : Hilary Rebecca Ferguson
Download or read book Smallholder Farmer Participation in Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement written by Hilary Rebecca Ferguson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local and regional food aid procurement (LRP) - the purchase and distribution of food aid within and between developing countries - has recently become a common occurrence. In contrast to traditional methods of food aid provision, which are costly cross-border operations and are often slow to respond during emergencies, LRP aims to combat food insecurity in a more effective, economical and contained manner. There is a limited amount of research concerning smallholder involvement in small-scale LRP initiatives. This thesis presents a case study that explores LRP's impact on smallholder farmers participating in a World Food Programme (WFP) procurement project in southwestern Uganda. Although this project produces benefits in terms of livelihood development, there are serious challenges that require policy action. Key challenges include problems with WFP procurement contract development, payment procedures and pricing mechanisms; difficulty ensuring the household food security of project participants; and uncertainty about project sustainability.

Book excerpt: The number of individuals experiencing hunger has grown to more than 1 billion worldwide in 2009, due to the global economic crisis.

To address these emergencies, countries provide food aid as part of a humanitarian response to address acute hunger through either in-kind donations of food or cash donations. This report: updates U.S. agencies' responses to previous international food assistance recommendations; and identifies potential oversight questions for Congress. Illustrations.
