Abstract:	"The World Food Programme now uses 80 percent of its resources for relief. Yet innovative programmes show how food aid can contribute to long-term development by helping to build stakeholders’ capacities and empower communities. Capacity and empowerment as outputs then become critical inputs into future development. This brief presents a conceptual model of community empowerment, and then uses examples from Madagascar and Honduras to show how food aid successfully empowered communities and government."
