Abstract

Food aid has consistently been highlighted as particularly prone to diversion and political instrumentalization. As an illustration of the applicability and relevance of political economy analysis in the humanitarian sector, this paper provides an illustration of a political-economy analysis (PEA) carried out in the context of a large-scale emergency food assistance and agricultural rehabilitation programme in Angola.
