FOOD TO EDUCATE

TIME FOR AFRICA TO ALIGN WITH TITLE II OF THE US FOOD AID POLICY

- Antony Simbowo

Hunger and famine are nothing new in the 21st century Sub Saharan Africa. Across the continent, from the north to the south, many countries cry for food aid yearly due to conditions escalated by adverse weather conditions. In the East and Horn of Africa, famine has left lasting negative impressions on the education, and food security scene across the years as millions die due to inadequate or complete lack of food. Food Aid Policy interventions have been employed in various scenarios where such inadequacies have been experienced. Starting in the 1950s, the Food Aid Policy came from the Comrade Law, which is often known as the PL 480. Its most preferred composite index is Title II.
