ABSTRACT

There have been many plans to end hunger, but few of them have been effec-

tively or efficiently implemented. The reasons for this gap between action and

results fall into two broad categories. One is the lack of resources, the second

a combination of political, social, technical, or institutional factors. Both rea-

sons are affected by human, technical, or institutional capacity. Previous chap-

ters of this report have addressed many of the constraints to hunger-alleviation

efforts that relate to insufficient resources, program, and policy design. This

chapter lays out key principles for national and local implementation of the

Task Force on Hunger recommendations as well as possible entry points in the

fight against hunger.
