International Relations Political Science Haiti food aid natural disaster food security USAID UN FAO tied aid untied aid A complex understanding of food insecurity reveals that emergency food aid efforts often contribute to this problem rather than alleviating it. Both immediate response programs and long-term recovery programs carried out by the United States and the United Nations in Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake focused disproportionately on making food accessible and available in the short-term without appreciating that food’s proper and stable long-term utilization. This thesis explores the ways in which the NGO-based model of aid delivery created during the era of development aid in the late 20th Century carried over into emergency efforts and threatened Haiti’s future foodsecurity. I analyze a variety of USAID, UN FAO, and WFP documents on both development and emergency aid to Haiti as well as the broader literature on food security and food aid. I conclude that donors ought to shift away from heavily NGO-dependent giving and give long-term impact more serious consideration in order to improve food aid in future emergency responses. 2014-05-22 English text Ohio University Honors Tutorial College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1400683791 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1400683791 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
