Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Food For Development Program

Constrained By Unresolved

Management And Policy Questions



The U.S. food for development program has
not been widely accepted by the developing
countries it was meant to help, even though re-
payments for food aid loans may be for-
given. The program was established under Pub-
lic Law 480, Title III in 1977 to provide
recipients an incentive to take greater self-
help measures in return for multi-year food
aid commitments and debt forgiveness. Only
six agreements have been signed. Other food
aid programs offer highly concessional assist-
ance (grants or loans with easy credit terms)
for less development effort.

GAO believes an overall policy framework
needs to be established, more closely linking
the degree of concessionality of U.S. assistance
with recipient country development efforts,
regardless of the title under which the food is
provided. GAO also believes the Agency for
International Development (AID) should be
given lead agency responsibility for the devel-
opment aspects of this complex, multiagency
administered program.
