Draft Request for Applications for Title II Non-Emergency Food Aid Programs: The Office of Food for Peace, in USAID's 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.html This 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, FFP's goal of 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. The range of activities may include, but not be 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. Subject to the availability of funds, under this Request for Applications (RFA), USAID/Office of Food for Peace plans to enter into awards, for a maximum of five years each, depending on country-specific information, for the following countries: - Burkina Faso - Up to one award for a total of approximately $6.5 million in the first year. - Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) - Up to two awards for a total of approximately $30 million in the first year. - Ethiopia - Up to five awards for a total of approximately $110 million in the first year. - Southern Sudan - Up to one award for a total of approximately $15 million in the first year. USAID reserves the right to adjust the number of awards and funding levels. 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.
