This study from 1999 attempts to identify empirically, types of participation by beneficiaries of food aid and their communities over a geographically and socially limited area. (i.e. Southern Sudan). This is achieved through a description of the experience of some of the 12 UK based NGOs covered by the Disasters’ Emergency Committee (DEC) evaluation of the South Sudan humanitarian programme (OLS) in consulting with the beneficiaries and involving them in the planning, management, monitoring and evaluation of their humanitarian programmes.
