Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Nov. 23, 1994
Report No. NSIAD-95-35
Subject
Summary:

The United States has provided food assistance to developing countries since the passage of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954. Congress has directed that at least 76 percent of the legislated minimum amounts of agricultural commodities provided under the act be used for nonemergency development activities of U.S. private voluntary organizations or such multilateral organizations as the World Food Program. GAO reviewed private voluntary organization food aid projects in Ghana, Honduras, and Indonesia, and extensively reviewed the literature on private voluntary organizations' food aid and development efforts. This report describes (1) the role of private voluntary organizations in distributing food aid and (2) the impact of direct feeding programs on enhancing the long-term food security of recipient countries, including how well projects are targeted to people vulnerable to malnutrition and whether food-for-work projects significantly improve infrastructure.
