Description: This Request for Applications (RFA) for Haiti, specifically, provides information on funding opportunities for multi-year development food assistance programs. Food security is the cornerstone of the Title II program because &#147;&#133;enhancing food security in the developing world through the use of agricultural commodities&#133;&#148; is a policy of the United States as stated in the Food for Peace Act, which authorizes Title II food aid. Thus, FFP&#146;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).
