Abstract
At the height of the food crisis in southern Africa, the Government of Lesotho declared a state of famine and emergency in April 2002 and launched a Famine Relief Appeal for over $137 million. World Vision, in partnership with the World Food Program, became involved in December 2002 providing food aid to affected communities. An evaluation of the food aid programs was carried out in 2005 to assess the program's impact and document lessons learnt. This chapter summarises some of the observed outcomes and discuss the challenges and politics of food aid programming in southern Africa.
