But this food, along with food purchased locally or internationally, can also be distributed to those in need. In some cases, this food may be given unconditionally, as has happened in cases of Bangladesh, Fiji, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. For these programmes, one of the most important considerations is targeting, since distributing food to large numbers of people can be prohibitively expensive. This is commonly done through food-for-work programmes, such as building roads, on the assumption that only the poorest would be prepared to do this work for the type of food on offer.
