This paper focuses on the question of how food aid can best be targeted to the neediest households in food-insecure areas. A typology of targeting methods is briefly set out, then a review of previous Ethiopian experience with targeting through public works is given. The paper next summarizes the views expressed by beneficiaries and implementing staff in chronic food aid recipient areas, and finally concludes that a combination of self-targeting elements with community prioritization of the neediest households is the best available targeting option.
