What does FFP mean?

FFP stands for Food For Peace. This program is administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the authority of Section 416(b) of the Agriculture Act of 1949 and is funded through voluntary contributions from private organizations and individuals. The goal of Food For Peace is to help people affected by humanitarian crisis access food while helping ensure their future against famine and poverty caused by shocks such as drought or conflict. USAID works with partner governments, NGOs, UN agencies and other stakeholders to provide funding that meets existing needs as well as build local capacity in order to provide long-term sustainability solutions for vulnerable populations.

What Does FFP Do?

FFP provides financial assistance for programs that promote sustainable agriculture, strengthen market systems, reduce malnutrition among vulnerable populations, improve postharvest storage and handling, increase access to education and health care services, and support disaster relief understanding that providing people with basic needs increases their chances of making it through difficult natural or man-made disasters without losing those needs entirely or suffering worsened conditions that could keep them from having access again once they return home from displacement camps or other havens during relief efforts. Additionally, these programs also focus on resilience building which helps communities be better prepared in case of future emergencies.
