The composition of the ration takes account of the availability of cooking facilities and fuel in the
areas of displacement. It was assumed that IDPs either had their own cookers or received them
on loan from host families or from aid agencies.
The ration was the same as that of the FRY refugee operation, in order to prevent “competition for
aid“ and population movements in search of better aid conditions between refugees from the
1992-95 Bosnia war and IDPs from the Kosovo crisis. The ration provided 1,935 kcal per person
per day and contained 11 percent protein and 18 percent fat. The objective of the food assistance
was to provide basic food items to cover the main energy and protein needs of target groups in an
environment where the beneficiaries do have some limited access to foods. The ration was
agreed with UNHCR.
High-energy biscuits (HEBs), if available, would be distributed as a supplementary food to
children under the age of seven. They were not budgeted under EMOP 6040. Extra donations of
canned fish and cheese would also be accepted in the food basket but not budgeted for under the
EMOP.
2.1.8 The Resources
The response to the appeals was overwhelming. In October 1999, the total volume of donations
to EMOP 6040 was about 87,965,595 dollars, corresponding to almost 97,000 tons of food.
Main donors responding to the two appeals were the US, the European Commission, Japan and
Germany. In total about 30 governments and organisations contributed in cash and kind to the
programme, including non-traditional donors like Croatia.
