| Since December 1989, Liberia and Sierra Leone have been affected by destructive wars and civil strife pushing some 1,100,000 persons to seek refuge in Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. Approximately one million have been internally displaced in both countries. The conflicts have claimed the lives of more than 150,000 people in Liberia and an unknown number in Sierra Leone. Houses, roads, and social and economic infrastructure have been destroyed and most people have been deprived of their livelihoods. Although Liberia and Sierra Leone have suffered the most from the internal conflicts, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana have been affected since they have had to provide shelter in towns and camps to the refugee population, which has strained local resources.... |

| The primary goal of emergency food aid after an economic shock is often to bolster short-term food and nutrition security. However, these transfers also act as insurance against other shock effects, such as destruction of assets and changes in economic activity, which can have lasting deleterious consequences. Although existing research provides some evidence of small positive impacts of timely food aid disbursements after a shock on current food consumption and aggregate consumption, little is known about whether these transfers play a safety net role by reducing vulnerability and protecting assets into the future. We investigate this issue by exploring the presence of persistent impacts of two major food aid programs following the 2002 drought in... |

| This report discusses the potential for procurement of food aid in local/regional markets to improve the effectiveness of response to food emergency victims. The paper examines the relevance of local/regional procurement (LRP) to donors and the rationale for using it, reviews LRP’s efficiency relative to in-kind food aid and to local prices in the markets in which it occurs (focusing on Africa), proposes a classification of risks involved in LRP, discusses a range of potential LRP modalities, and closes by proposing a framework of guiding principles, information systems, and operational procedures for responsible and effective LRP. |

| By law, US food aid relies on commodity procurement in the US. A powerful political coalition of US farm groups, shippers and relief agencies vigorously supports these in-kind food aid donation. As an alternative, local procurement of food aid, in Africa, has attracted growing interest because of its potential to reduce landed costs and speed delivery times. For this reason, many food aid donors, other than the US, have switched to local and regional procurement of food aid commodities. This paper reviews experience with local and regional food aid procurement in Zambia. The study focuses primarily on experience of the World Food Programme (WFP), the agency with the most extensive experience conducting local and regional procurement in Africa. WFP’s... |
