Description

In FY 2014, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded about $1.3 billion for emergency and development food aid under Title II of the Food for Peace Act. USAIDäó»s implementing partners may provide conditional food aid -- food in exchange for beneficiariesäó» participation in activities intended to support development. Questions have arisen about whether the dual goals of addressing both immediate and long-term needs may compromise the ability to achieve either goal. This report examines: (1) USAIDäó»s use of conditional food aid through Title II development and emergency awards in FY 2013 and FY 2014; and (2) the extent to which USAID has assessed the effectiveness of food-for-assets activities in development projects. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
