Abstract
Sri Lanka is used as a case study to consider:the significance of food aid in the long run as a resource transfer ; the extent to which food transfers have substituted for or been additional to commercial imports; the significance of donor programming for recipient country food policy.The article finds evidence that food aid has represented and important resource but is row of diminished significance; it has largely provided balance of - payments support rather than additional cereals imports; but unresponsive programming by donors seriously reduced the effectiveness of food aid as a transfer and food security mechanism
