The evidence suggests that structured demand is most effective in promoting food security when: 

a) coupled with supply-side agricultural development interventions, 

b) based upon robust, accurate market analysis (which is often lacking in food crisis contexts), and 

c) implemented in a sequenced precautionary approach:

i) short-term; ensure immediate food security, 

ii) medium-term; build effective markets and infrastructure,

iii) longer-term; move to market-based policies once markets are functional.
