Hinged upon the major developments in 1990s by FDRE i.e. rural development strategy (ADLI) polices (free market) and directives (like targeted interventions for drought prone and food insecure areas), a new coalition for food security in Ethiopia between partners, and the government has been developed. The renewed commitment of a new partnership established since June 2003 aims at achieving a major turn around of the food security challenges within a time frame of three to five years (2005- 2010). The book therefore, attempts to gives an answer for questions: what problems encounter PSNP implementation at woreda level in light of targeting, resource transfer, institutional arrangements and community participation?
