[Download original document] USAID's new Food Aid and Food Security policy paper provides an overview of the changing nature of global food security and the recent changes in both domestic and international conditions affecting food aid. It will guide program development and resource allocation for all USAID-administered food aid activities. Preface
This paper was prepared in consultation with the Private Voluntary Organizations that manage much of the U.S. food aid program and with USAID field missions. The statistical information comes from several international sources, including the International Food Policy Research Institute.
The Agency will be flexible in applying this guidance. Our ultimate objective is improvement in the food security of poor and hungry people. We believe by focusing our activities according to the guidance contained in this paper we will increase the impact of our P.L. 480 resources.
USAID is committed to reviewing food security issues on an ongoing basis. We will continue to work closely with the PVOs and through international and related fora on food security issues. We will focus on the opportunity to introduce innovative new programs to reduce hunger and support sustainable development, especially in the Horn of Africa.
I appreciate the many constructive suggestions which came from the PVOs and from USAID field missions and the collaborative spirit which surrounded this effort.
Deputy Administrator, USAID
