Abstract

Mounting debt and a continuing inability to feed their populations have led countries of Sub-Saharan Africa to undertake reform programs to make their economies more market oriented. At the same time, they have sought to protect the food security of their most vulnerable population groups. Kenya, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe are three case studies that represent the common dilemma: how to adhere to long-term economic reform while protecting vulnerable consumer groups from market inefficiencies and price shocks.
