5. Description of Needs Assessments 
 
Food assistance responses to emergencies are provided through th e World Food Program, private voluntary organizations, and othe r qualified responders to 
emergencies. The organizations work closely with the national an d local governments in the recipient countries to identify the recipient regions and 
beneficiaries who need the programmes.  For developmental food aid that is distributed directly to bene ficiaries, the U.S. Government and its implementing organization s work closely with the national 
and local governments to identify regions and beneficiaries. N eeds assessments are based on recipient government statistics tha t identify areas of poverty and 
nutritional deficiencies. This targeting is intended to in crease the consumption of food among the beneficiaries. 
 
A limited portion of the in-kind food aid is monetized. The U.S.  Government works with the implementing organizations and the r ecipient governments to 
analyze the markets and choose commodities that will not disrupt local production, prices, local markets, or commercial trade. The selected commodities are 
intended to address shortfalls in consumption due to limitation s in production, trade, or income. Monetizations are conducted i n countries that have low income, 
high stunting rates, limited foreign exchange, and limited access  to trade-financing credit. The implementing organizations con duct public solicitations to ensure 
that a wide range of buyers are informed and to encourage compet ition to ensure that the sales occur at price levels that do no t undercut commercial 
transactions.
