AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: To be considered for an award, the applicant must be a private voluntary organization or cooperative that is, to the extent practicable, registered with the USAID Administrator, or an intergovernmental organization, such as the UN World Food Program. This includes U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofit organizations as defined in Section 402 of the Food for Peace Act and as described in the Private Voluntary Organization Conditions of Registration on the USAID website: hhtp://idea.usaid.gov/ls/pvo.
Description: This draft Request for Applications (RFA) provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year development food assistance programs in Burundi, Madagascar, and Malawi. 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, FFP&apos;s goal 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).
