Funding-Request
for Applications for Title II Development Food Aid Programs; February 3, 2012
Agency
Name
USAID
Description
This Request for Applications (RFA) 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, Food for
Peace's 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). Subject to the availability of funds and
commodities, under this RFA, FFP plans to enter into awards for the following
countries: • Guatemala – Up to two awards for a total of approximately $15
million in the first year. • Niger – Up to two awards for a total of
approximately $15 million in the first year. • Uganda – Up to two awards for a
total of approximately $15-20 million in the first year.
