Assessing the longer-term impact of emergency food aid in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Malawi
...IFPRI examined the effectiveness of community-based targeting following three recent emergencies: the 1998 floods in Bangladesh; the 2002 drought in Ethiopia; and the 2001-02 failed maize harvest in Malawi.
"Flooding is a normal part of the ecology of Bangladesh. The 1998 flood was especially serious because of its depth and duration.
