Food security reserve policy in Ethiopia since 1982 is reviewed in the light of the limited progress made elsewhere in Africa in establishing and maintaining such reserves. While the reserve played some role in dealing with the crisis of 1987/8, donor confidence was eroded by unauthorised drawings from the reserve and other factors. In 1992, the Ethiopian Food Security Reserve Authority was established to provide a system of management more acceptable to donors. This had led to donor pledges to replenish the reserve, though it remains well below the target level. Despite increased government commitment of funds, donor confidence remains fragile and the reserve remains dependent on donor support. The place of the reserve in national food security policy is not yet fully defined. Conclusions are drawn for food security reserve policy in Ethiopia and elsewhere in Africa.
鉴于非洲其他地区在建立和维持此类储备方面取得的进展有限，对埃塞俄比亚自1982年以来的粮食安全储备政策进行了审查。虽然该储备在应对1987/8年危机中发挥了一定作用，但储备金的未经授权提取和其他因素削弱了捐助者的信心。1992年，埃塞俄比亚粮食安全储备局成立，以提供一个更能为捐助者接受的管理系统。这导致捐助者承诺补充储备，尽管储备仍远低于目标水平。尽管政府增加了资金投入，但捐助者的信心仍然脆弱，储备仍然依赖捐助者的支持。储备在国家粮食安全政策中的地位尚未完全明确。得出了关于埃塞俄比亚和非洲其他地区粮食安全储备政策的结论。
