This brief presents a new methodology for tracking aid for food security, designed to capture robust information on food security activities at the aid project level. To pilot this method, researchers coded and mapped all available official development assistance projects, active between 1996 and 2010, from five major donors in Malawi. The study found that approximately 29 percent of development activities across these donors were relevant to food security, a figure much higher than the average percentage of development assistance spent on food security across developing countries.
