For almost six decades, the United States has played a leading role in global efforts to alleviate hunger and malnutrition and to enhance world food security through international food aid assistance--primarily through either the donation or sale on concessional terms of U.S. agricultural commodities. Objectives of U.S. foreign food aid include providing emergency and humanitarian assistance in response to natural or manmade disasters and promoting agricultural development and food security. This book includes a description of U.S. international food aid programs under current law; several important policy issues related to U.S. international food aid; and describes Administration and congressional proposals intended to change the nature of U.S. food international aid. This book also reviews the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) processes for awarding and modifying cash-based food assistance projects and assesses the extent to which USAID and its implementing partners have implemented financial controls to help ensure appropriate oversight of such projects.

For over 55 years, the United States has played a leading role in global efforts to alleviate hunger and malnutrition and to enhance world food security through international food aid activities. The development and implementation of a U.S. global food security initiative, and commitments made by global leaders to support agricultural development, have increased Congress's focus on U.S. international food aid programs. The primary objectives for foreign food aid include providing emergency and humanitarian assistance in response to natural or man-made disasters, and promoting agricultural development and food security. The United States provides food aid for emergency food relief and to support development projects. This book examines the programs, donors, and world food program controls in support of international food aid currently being enacted to deal with this global crisis.

This book chronicles the most essential causes and implications of these trends, which have expanded international food assistance well beyond the simple shipment of donated food aid commodities. We pay particular attention to how these trends shape and are shaped by European Union (EU) and United States (U.S.) food assistance policy and practice, and highlight the principles to which donors can adhere to move international food assistance forward.

The number of individuals experiencing hunger has grown to more than 1 billion worldwide in 2009, due to the global economic crisis. International food assistance includes both emergency food aid and long-term food security programs. Due to rising food prices, increasing conflicts, poverty, and natural disasters, in 2007, a record 47 countries -- 27 in Africa -- faced food crises requiring emergency assistance. 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.

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Discusses how local and regional procurement (LRP) can provide opportunities to enhance U.S. food aid. In today's environment of increasing emergencies and growing global food insecurity, the U.S. and other donors face intense pressures to feed the world's expanding undernourished population. In Sept. 2008, it was reported that high food prices had resulted in the number of undernourished people reaching a record 963 million. Most bilateral donors of food aid have switched from commodity-based in-kind food aid to a cash-based food assistance program. The large majority of U.S. food assistance is for U.S.-grown commodities purchased competitively in the U.S. and shipped to recipient countries on U.S.-flag carriers. Charts and tables.
