Despite their inadequacies in solving political restrictions and long lag time before execution of action [evaluation], aid

from international organisations havegiven their massive financial ability and global outreach [reasoning]managed to get food supplies to increasingly more impoverished groups of people more effectively [claim] than any single humanitarian organization could have done on their own so far [some context] . While international aid continues to pour in and local governments seem fairly receptive on the surface [evaluation], international efforts continue to remain ineffective due to persistent political instability in these under-developed nations [claim] (such as Somalia and DR Congo) [some context] that often disrupt the management and distribution of aid [reasoning]. Though the setting of global bodies like the IMF and World Bank have brough hope of better coordinated food aid for the poor, these financial bodiesoperating under a capitalist ideology with vested free market interests [reason and context]often abuse their power by laying down punitive aid conditions that do more in the long run to ensure access for western firms than constant food supply for the recipients [claim]. SV1: Advancements in science have alleviated the problem of global hunger as it allows for the engineering of crops that are able to withstand harsh weather conditions. This is especially essential in countries that are highly dependent on agricultural sources for food as their yield is often subject to the volatility of the weather, which can at times, deprive them of a stable source of food. OV1: There is however a limitation whereby such advancements and research tends to be done by corporations, trying to maximise their profits. Even so, such research tends to be extremely costly and time consuming. This is definitely an obstacle as governments may find it too expensive to provide subsidies for such foods, especially in areas with high hunger rates. Furthermore, the time factor involved in such research is bound to be rather extensive given that such experiments are usually on a trial and error basis. SV2: The efforts of international non-governmental organisations have been effective in easing the problem of global hunger as they are able to provide food aid. With their inherent ability to raise awareness and rally masses of people together, such organisations will effectively ease the problem of global hunger as they are able to attain food aid packages as well as generous donations from people all over the world. This would this benefit those in need as it provides them with a source of food. OV2: The effectiveness of such efforts are however limited to that of the short run. As a matter of fact, in reality, such efforts may be excessive and could even prove to be hazardous as it will provide a form of competition for domestic food suppliers, possibly chasing them out of the industry. This will thus induce a further round of food shortages in the country. SV3: Efforts in alleviating global hunger have been effective due to the increasing emphasis of education in most countries, one which seeks to eradicate the root cause of hunger poverty. The problem of poverty is ultimately, the root cause of hunger as the poor are usually the ones who are worst of in society and do not possess the monetary capability of competing with the rich for food sources. With the emphasis of education however, such no longer needs to be the case as the impoverished are now able to break out of the cycle of poverty and subsequently, ease the problem of global hunger as they are now able to afford one of the most basic needs for survival.

OV3: Despite its effectiveness however, such efforts only apply to one aspect of hunger and not hunger that is caused by geographical factors, one that is beyond the control of man.
