Abstract

Food assistance is one of the international commitments to reduce food insecurity in developing countries, but only a few studies have explored its effectiveness, especially in across multiple countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of international food assistance on food insecurity in developing countries. I analysed 2001–2021 data from 70 developing countries across Africa, Asia and Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean using the system General Method of Moment (sys-GMM). Our study indicates that international food assistance reduces food insecurity in Africa but has no impact on other regions. Government effectiveness and agricultural imports can help to minimise food insecurity in the study areas. Food inflation and age dependency ratios increase food insecurity in developing countries, whereas other variables have different effects among regions.
