This grant, offered by the Food for Peace (FFP) Department, provides funding opportunities for multi-year development food assistance programs in Burundi, Madagascar, and Malawi. Aligned with the Food for Peace Act, the core purpose of Title II aid is to enhance food security in the developing world. The program directly targets the vulnerability of food-insecure individuals, households, and communities. Grantees will implement initiatives focused on strengthening food systems and ensuring sustainable access to nutritious food. While primarily for long-term development, assistance made available through these awards may also be utilized to address emergency or exceptional circumstances, offering flexibility to respond to urgent needs within the specified regions.
