The sending of food aid can be questioned, because food aid often
does not get to the areas of greatest need, it is frequently stolen
en route by the military, and organizations are too slow to respond
to need.
Food aid has been historically a major element of development aid
to support longer-term development and the primary response to help
countries and people in crisis. Doubts about food aid are arising
because there is a growing mismatch between the new circumstances
produced by rapid political and economic change and the
international arrangements and institutions for food aid that are
predicated on an earlier reality.
In an environment of risks, uncertainty and rapid change,
prevailing in the early 1990s, food aid and other assistance have
increasingly been organized as part of efforts to assure human
security in terms of livelihoods, food, health, a sustainable
environment, personal and political security. However, to what
extent is this multiplicity of goals realized in practice? To what
extent do the modalities and institutional arrangement for aid
permit them to be realized? It is on institutional questions that
this examination of food aid focuses in particular.
