This grant, offered by USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (FFP), is for multi-year, non-emergency food aid programs. The primary purpose is to enhance global food security by reducing vulnerabilities and increasing food availability, access, and utilization for food-insecure individuals, households, and communities. Funded activities may include sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, non-agricultural income generation, health, nutrition, and emergency preparedness. Applicants must ensure that proposed food aid distribution and monetization do not negatively impact local agricultural production, marketing, or the recipient country’s economy. This initiative aligns with the Food for Peace Act to address underlying causes of chronic food insecurity through integrated development strategies.

| Description: | The Office of Food for Peace, in USAIDs Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance, is the U.S. Government leader in international food assistance. Through FFP, USAID provides development food aid as part of multi-year, non-emergency programs integrated with USAID strategies to address the underlying causes of chronic food insecurity. USAID also provides emergency food aid to address needs arising from natural disasters, such as floods or droughts, and complex emergencies often characterized by insecurity and population displacement. More information on USAID food assistance programs can be found here:http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/ffp/index.htmlThis Request for Applications (RFA) provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year, non-emergency 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, non-emergency 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).The range of activities may include, but is not limited to, sustainable agricultural production and marketing, natural resource management, non-agricultural income generation, health, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, emergency preparedness and mitigation, vulnerable group feeding, and social safety nets.For all programs, applicants must demonstrate that (a) proposed distribution and monetization food aid commodity levels will not result in disincentives to or interference with local agricultural production or marketing and will not disrupt commercial markets and (b) importation of agricultural commodities and the use of local currencies generated under the proposed award will not have a disruptive impact on the farmers or the local economy of the recipient country. More specific information on the objectives, activities and/or geographic locations targeted within each specific country covered by this RFA may be found on the Food for Peace website, under Country Specific Information, http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/ffp/countryspec.html. It is essential that applicants review this information carefully because detailed information contained in the country-specific information takes precedence over the generalities contained in this RFA. The Ethiopia Country Specific Guidance has been updated to strike the sentence “It should be noted that USAID will not provide funding for seeds, cuttings, nursery plants of any type or fertilizer.” Clarification on proposal submissions (3/1/11): This is to inform you that the maximum size file that can be accepted through FFPdocs@amexdc.com is 12MB per transmission. This maximum size file is consistent with last years process. If you have problems with bounce backs, you may need to divide up your attachments accordingly. If you are having other issues tied to electronic submissions, you may instead submit both a hard copy and a flash drive or CD(s) of the entire application with all components clearly labeled by the due date/time as indicated in the RFA to AMEX at: AMEX ATTENTION: FFP Application (insert Country Name) (2) If an applicant (independent applicant or lead of consortium) has already submitted any/all relevant final evaluations and audit reports to FFP, the applicant may list these submissions in lieu of resubmitting them, either in the Past Performance section or as an annex. This summary list must include the titles of the documents, country to which they pertain, who completed the documents, to whom within FFP you sent them, and on which dates. |
