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 &quot;...enhancing food security in the developing world through the use of agricultural commodities...&quot; 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&apos;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:&#149; Guatemala &#150; Up to two awards for a total of approximately $15 million in the first year.&#149; Niger &#150; Up to two awards for a total of approximately $15 million in the first year.&#149; Uganda &#150; Up to two awards for a total of approximately $15-20 million in the first year.
