This grant, offered by Food For Peace (FFP), is for multi-year, Title II development food aid programs aimed at enhancing food security globally. The primary purpose is to reduce risks and vulnerabilities to food insecurity while increasing food availability, access, and utilization/consumption in targeted communities. Aligned with the Food for Peace Act, programs must directly address the vulnerability of food-insecure individuals and households. While primarily for development, funds may also support emergency circumstances. FFP plans to award grants for programs in Guatemala (up to $15 million), Niger (up to $15 million), and Uganda (up to $15-20 million) in the first year, subject to fund availability.
