Resumo: 	The objective of this report is to review available evidence on the potential to  promote access to food for vulnerable groups in Ethiopia through two main methods: food transfer  programs, and appropriate policies influencing the food marketing system. These issues are  examined with a view to identifying priority issues for analysis under the MEDAC/MSU/USAID Food  Security Project in Ethiopia. In particular, the report presents trends in food aid and food  production in Ethiopia, and provides preliminary evidence of the possible disincentive effects of  food aid on agricultural production incentives and investments in the food marketing system;  discusses the costs and benefits of various food aid transfer programs, and highlights major  unresolved issues requiring further analysis to guide Ethiopian policy makers' decisions on  strategies to promote household food security; presents a set of "guiding principles" to minimize  the trade-offs between meeting vulnerable groups' immediate food needs and promoting agricultural  productivity growth over the long run; and identifies important unresolved issues for further  analysis, in order to guide Ethiopian policy makers' decisions on ensuring household access to  food through an appropriate mix of market and transfer mechanisms.
