Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement Program: The purpose of the USDA LRP Program is to support development activities aimed at strengthening the trade capacity of food-insecure developing countries, to address the cause of chronic food insecurity, and to respond to food crises and disasters. The LRP program will complement existing food aid programs, especially the Food for Education (McGovern-Dole) program to fill in food availability gaps and strengthen local value chains and associated procurement. Only food-insecure populations in developing countries are eligible for assistance under USDA LRP.
