Tomkins Abstract This paper discusses the major policy initiatives that have been developed to combat chronic food shortages in the world’s least developed nations. The United States has taken the world’s leadership position in trying to address chronic hunger and under-nutrition as part of its Feed the Future initiative, an effort that is linked to the G8’s L’Aquila Food Security initiative. Both initiatives focus on activities and outcomes that are intended to reduce food insecurity in the medium and long terms. Both initiatives operate in the context of the immediate food relief policies and practices that most nations subscribe to as part of the United Nations food security initiatives.

We’re delighted to organize this panel together with Médecins Sans Frontières -- MSF -- on “Negotiating Humanitarian Access: How Far to Compromise to Deliver Aid.” The impetus for this program today came from the publication by MSF of their book that you probably saw as you came in called Humanitarian Negotiations Revealed: The MSF Experience. This book was published in part to commemorate MSF’s 40th anniversary. But you know, a lot of organizations, when they publish something on their anniversary, do so to highlight the achievements and the accomplishments and the impact of the organization.

  • USAID ACVFA: October 25, 2006 Summary Meeting Report
    Public Meeting October 25, 2006 ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON VOLUNTARY FOREIGN AID Public Meeting October 25, 2006 OPENING REMARKS Benjamin Homan, ACVFA Chairman, welcomed the committee members and attendees, thanking them for doing their part to facilitate dialogue between private voluntary organizations (PVOs) and the government. PRESIDENT’S MALARIA INITIATIVE: OVERVIEW AND PROGRESS Admiral Tim Ziemer, Coordinator, the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), USAID On June 30, 2005, President Bush announced the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), a five-year, $1.2 billion initiative to effect rapid growth in malaria-control interventions in African nations. PMI is an interagency initiative led by USAID, with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as key partners. It aims to bring proven interventions to 85 percent of vulnerable populations in order to achieve a 50 percent reduction in malaria mortality in target countries. These proven interventions include insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women, and artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). Yearly funding will increase from $30 million in 2006 to $500 million in 2010, with coverage expanding from three initial countries to fifteen. Countries selected have a high burden of malaria, the political will to commit to malaria reduction, a willingness to partner with the U.S. government, and national malaria-control policies and practices consistent with those recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Within six weeks of the President’s announcement, the PMI fielded assessment teams to the first target countries (Angola, Tanzania, and Uganda).
