Grant 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 риenhancing food security in the developing world through the use of agricultural commoditiesис is a policy of the United States as stated in the Food for Peace Act, which authorizes Title II food aid. Thus, FFPуs 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. As stated in the RFA, all comments and inquiries should be directed to Juli Majernik at jmajernik@usaid.gov with a copy to facg@amexdc2.com.
