Abstract

The note examines the persistent food insecurity in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the challenges of international food aid efforts, highlighting systemic issues such as monitoring limitations, political debates over aid effectiveness, and the need for reform in the international food security regime. It argues that while organizations like the World Food Programme (WFP) have expanded their operations in the DPRK, structural barriers, including the government's restrictions and donor countries' shifting commitments, undermine the long-term impact of food aid. The note emphasizes the urgency of addressing these challenges to prevent further humanitarian crises and promote sustainable food security.
