| Description: | This Request for Applications (RFA) for Haiti, specifically, provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year, development food aid programs. Food security is the cornerstone of the Title II program because enhancing food security in the developing world through the use of agricultural commodities is a policy of the United States as stated in the Food for Peace Act, which authorizes Title II food aid. Thus, FFPs goal for multi-year development programming is to reduce risks and vulnerabilities to food insecurity and increase food availability, access and utilization/consumption. Title II programs must target the vulnerability of food insecure individuals, households and communities directly. Note that assistance made available pursuant to this RFA may be used to meet emergency/exceptional circumstances as provided in accordance with the terms of those awards and 22 C.F. R. 211.5(o). In this past this had been capped at 10 percent, however, based on the use of trigger indicators, this level may be exceeded. FFP would greatly appreciate receiving consolidated comments on this draft RFA for Haiti from the representative groups of the FACG. A consolidated response from FFP to comments and inquiries concerning the draft materials will accompany the finalized materials. Comments on the FY12 draft RFA for Haiti are therefore due at COB, Tuesday, December 27, 2011. However, please do not wait until the last day to submit your consolidated comments and inquiries. As stated in the draft RFA, all comments and inquiries should be directed to Juli Majernik at jmajernik@usaid.gov with a copy to facg@amexdc2.com. |
