The UN World Food Programme and the Development of Food Aid by D. Shaw Pdf

This is the first history to be written of the World Food Programme (WFP), the food aid arm of the United Nations System. It tells the story of the antecedents and origins of WFP and growth from modest beginnings as a three-year experiment in 1963-65 to become the main source of international food aid for both disaster relief and development against the background of the evolution and development of food aid. This dual role has put WFP in the front line of the United Nations attack on poverty, hunger and food insecurity.

World Food Aid by John Shaw,Edward J. Clay Pdf

Food aid is both popular and controversial. Detractors point to the political and commercial motives that have driven food aid flows, its disincentive effects, and the risk it carries of creating dependence. Supporters find it at the very core of humanitarian assistance. This innovative book examines the question of food assistance very broadly, from the perspective of both recipient countries and donors around the world, including four African nations-Tunisia, Benin, Lesotho, and Tanzania.

The World Food Programme and Global Food Security by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. International Development Committee Pdf

Hunger and malnutrition are long-term problems facing the world. Recent food price rises have greatly exacerbated the difficulties poor people face in accessing nourishing food and have dragged up to 100 million people back into poverty. The World Food Programme's (WFP) 'pipeline' of emergency food has never been more important. WFP does crucial work at the frontline of humanitarian emergencies and in building the resilience of communities to deal with long-term hunger. Up to 20 million tonnes of food may be needed to feed new groups of people being pushed into poverty by food price rises. Significant increases to the WFP's budget are likely to be needed in order to secure this additional food supply. The usual annual total of US$3 billion in voluntary contributions may need to double to US$5-6 billion. Malnutrition is responsible for one-third of child deaths, yet it is under-funded and under-emphasised by the international community and the UN system. The Committee is shocked that DFID lacks a specific nutrition policy and measurable targets for assessing progress in reducing malnutrition. The establishment of the UN Taskforce and its Comprehensive Framework for Action on food security are positive steps. Agencies such as DFID and the WFP must look beyond the current crisis and address long-term drivers of food security. DFID should re-focus on agriculture. Reforms to the UN system are another important factor in improving future responses to food insecurity. There is scope for far greater integration of the work done by the three Rome-based UN agencies. Identifying the WFP as the lead UN agency on hunger would contribute to a more coherent international approach.

The Right to Food by Francis Adams Pdf

This book examines the global campaign to end hunger and malnutrition. Focus is placed on the work of the United Nations which has led international efforts to improve food security in the world’s poorest countries. The book first reviews the long-term project to establish access to safe, sufficient, and nutritious food as a universally recognized human right. This is followed by separate chapters that examine the nature and central causes of food insecurity in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. These chapters also review the contemporary work of three United Nations agencies – the World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, and International Fund for Agricultural Development – in providing both food aid and food assistance to each region of the developing world. This includes the provision of emergency food aid in response to natural disaster and civil conflict, as well as longer-term food assistance to promote agricultural productivity, advance rural development, and preserve natural environments. The concluding chapter considers ways to strengthen food aid and assistance in the years to come, with many of the recommendations advanced reflecting lessons learned from the actual experience of food aid and assistance described in this book.
