Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2012 Title II Development Food Aid Programs for Haiti opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FFP FY 12 0002) is a USAID Food for Peace (FFP) Request for Applications focused on supporting multi-year development food aid programs in Haiti. The central aim is to strengthen food security, which the RFA frames as the foundation of the Title II program under the Food for Peace Act. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to fund programs that reduce households' and communities' risks and vulnerabilities related to food insecurity while improving food availability, access to food, and proper utilization and consumption. The RFA emphasizes that proposed activities should directly target food-insecure individuals, households, and communities rather than working only indirectly or at a purely policy level.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, with an estimated total funding level of $35,000,000 and an award ceiling of $35,000,000. The notice anticipates making up to four awards. There is no stated award floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted on January 18, 2012, with an application deadline of April 19, 2012, and the announcement archived on May 19, 2012. The program is listed under CFDA 98.007, Food for Peace Development Assistance Program (DAP).
Programmatically, the RFA allows for a wide range of food-security-related development interventions. The activities described can include, but are not limited to, sustainable agricultural production and marketing, natural resource management, non-agricultural income generation, health and nutrition interventions, water and sanitation, education, gender equity, emergency preparedness and mitigation, vulnerable group feeding, and social safety nets. This breadth suggests applicants could propose integrated approaches that combine livelihoods, agriculture, and basic services, as long as the overall design clearly advances food security outcomes and focuses on vulnerable populations.
Although the opportunity is focused on development programming, it also allows some flexibility for emergency or exceptional circumstances. Assistance under awards made through this RFA may be used to respond to emergencies as permitted under 22 C.F.R. 211.5(o) and the specific terms of the award. The notice highlights that emergency use had previously been capped at 10 percent, but that this level may be exceeded when trigger indicators justify it, implying that programs should consider how they will monitor conditions and pivot resources when pre-defined thresholds are met.
Eligibility is limited to specific types of organizations. To be considered, an applicant must be a private voluntary organization (PVO) or cooperative, registered with the USAID Administrator to the extent practicable, or an intergovernmental organization such as the World Food Program. Both U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofit organizations may apply as long as they meet the definitions and requirements under Section 402 of the Food for Peace Act and align with USAID's PVO registration conditions (as referenced in the USAID PVO Conditions of Registration guidance). This positions the competition primarily for established humanitarian and development organizations with relevant compliance capacity and experience managing commodity-based food assistance tied to development objectives.
