(introduction...)

The impact of massive international emergency aid on the local economy is a very complex issue and warrants a separate discussion for Rwanda. Meanwhile, it is still worthwhile to look at two specific effects that are of immediate relevance. The first will address issues related to food security and distribution. The second section discusses the more indirect but critical impact of international humanitarian aid on labour market distortions.
