| Abstract: | This paper examines the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency response in Southern
Africa through the lens of the 2002/03-food crisis in the region. It outlines improvements in
information and operational procedures needed to enhance the response to future events. Also
discussed are national and regional trade regime changes that would reduce the need for emergency
response, and consider what lessons the 2002/03 crisis may have for the role of Strategic Grain
Reserves. |
