Abstract:Is food aid an effective means of assisting the needy, or a cynical response to inefficient agricultural policies in the rich countries? The second view is increasingly being heard, particularly in the main donor countries; yet the World Food Council, in which the developing countries ars strongly represented, has called for even greater efforts so that at least 10 million tons of grain ara available for food aid each year. This brief article outlines the cope and major coanlusions of an ODI (Overseas Developmnent Institute, London) research project that has studied the impact of food aid in four African countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Tunisia and Upper Volta) in order to answer the question posed in the title. Notes.
