Children playing in Lusaka, Zambia, one of the Feed the Future countries.
This introduction has laid out where we are today in efforts to end global hunger and malnutrition. In the following chapters, the report covers where to go from here. The first step is showing how and why we need a comprehensive approach: hunger and malnutrition are complex issues that require action on multiple fronts. Chapter 1 provides a set of fundamental principles to keep us focused. Chapter 2 explores the relationship between donors and partner governments in countries that receive aid and explains how a new approach to such partnerships is evolving, one that offers good reason for hope for better development outcomes. Chapter 3 is concerned specifically with the United States, identifying domestic policies that undermine the effectiveness of U.S. development assistance and proposing a long-overdue structural reform of our foreign assistance. Finally, Chapter 4 and the Conclusion emphasize the importance of improving international cooperation and strengthening civil society to solve problems that hinge on united action, like hunger and malnutrition. The greater share of our observations and recommendations apply to U.S. international development policy as a whole, but examples relevant to Feed the Future guide much of the discussion.
