Submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. Abstract: Between 1993 and 2003, the U.S. government distributed over thirteen million Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDRs) around the world. This paper will discuss the government's original goals for the HDR program, explore the needs of HDR recipients, evaluate the ... read moreeffectiveness of the product, and propose improvements by including non-food items in HDR packets. The HDRs could also be tailored to needs in different regions of the world. Regionally considerate rations could be useful in the media war that accompanies modern conflict. Improvements will not only make for a better product for recipients, but will demonstrate to the American people that the HDR is the best, most cost-effective ready-to-eat humanitarian product that the U.S. government can provide.read less
