Opportunity Summary:
The Draft Request for Applications (RFA) titled "Draft Request for Applications for Title II Development Food Aid Programs in Haiti" is a USAID Food for Peace (FFP) funding opportunity focused on multi-year development food assistance programming in Haiti. It is issued under the Title II authority of the Food for Peace Act, which frames U.S. policy around improving food security in developing countries through the use of U.S. agricultural commodities. In practical terms, the RFA is designed to support longer-term development efforts that reduce the underlying risks and vulnerabilities that cause food insecurity, while also improving the availability of food, people s ability to access it, and how it is utilized and consumed at the household and community levels. Although the emphasis is on development rather than crisis response, the opportunity notes that award resources may be used to address emergency or exceptional circumstances when allowed under the terms of the award and federal regulations at 22 C.F.R. 211.5(o).
The opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding level of up to $20,000,000, which also functions as the award ceiling. The award floor is listed as $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant structure. The program is listed under CFDA 98.007, the Food for Peace Development Assistance Program (DAP), and is categorized as discretionary funding.
Programmatically, the RFA indicates a broad range of eligible activity areas that can be combined to address food insecurity in a comprehensive way. These areas include sustainable agricultural production and marketing, natural resource management, and non-agricultural income generation, as well as health, nutrition, water and sanitation, and education. It also allows for work related to emergency preparedness and mitigation, vulnerable group feeding, and social safety nets. A key design expectation is that programs directly target food insecure individuals, households, and communities, rather than focusing only on indirect or economy-wide approaches. Another important expectation is that gender is treated as a cross-cutting theme, integrated throughout the activity set rather than isolated in a standalone component.
Eligibility is limited to specific types of organizations. Applicants must be either a private voluntary organization (PVO) or cooperative that is, to the extent practicable, registered with the USAID Administrator, or an intergovernmental organization such as the World Food Program. The eligibility language clarifies that both U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofit organizations may be eligible if they meet the Food for Peace Act definition and the USAID PVO registration conditions referenced on the USAID website.
This posting is explicitly described as a draft RFA and includes a request for stakeholder input before finalization. USAID FFP asked representative groups of the FACG to submit consolidated comments and inquiries during a 21-day comment period. The draft was posted on November 14, 2012, with comments due by December 5, 2012, and USAID indicated it would provide a consolidated response to the feedback alongside the finalized materials. The opportunity was archived on January 4, 2013.
