Targeting food aid in emergencies (pdf 890kb)

This supplement is intended to provide guidance on the design of food targeting systems in emergencies.

The paper addresses the following topics related to food systems in emergencies:
- Assessing and defining food needs
- Setting objectives
- Determining eligibility
- Distributing food
- Monitoring the targeting system
- Resourcing Targeting
    
Targeting is defined as directing a particular type or quantity of food, to a defined population group. A broad definition of emergency contexts has been used, to include rapid and slow onset emergencies and responses aimed at emergency preparedness, in both short and long term settings.
