In 2004, the UN's Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan called Darfur
the world's worst humanitarian crisis. A comprehensive food aid
programme soon followed, at the time the largest in the world. Yet
by 2014, while the crisis continued, international agencies found
they had limited access to much of the population, with the
Sudanese regime effectively controlling who received aid. As a
result, acute malnutrition remains persistently high. Food Aid in
Sudan argues that the situation in Sudan is emblematic of a far
wider problem. Analysing the history of food aid in the country
over fifty years, Jaspars shows that such aid often serves to
enrich local regimes and the private sector while leaving war-torn
populations in a state of permanent emergency. Drawing on her
decades of experience as an aid worker and researcher in the
region, and extensive interviews with workers in the food aid
process, Jaspars brings together two key topics of our time: the
failure of the humanitarian system to respond to today's crises,
and the crisis in the global food system. Essential reading for
students and researchers across the social sciences studying the
nature and effectiveness of contemporary humanitarianism,
development and international aid.
