INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1986 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: ContinuingSummary: The Office of Food For Peace Central Program to Support P.L. 480 Title II Emergency Programs includes Institutional strengthening assistance (ISA) grants that provide support to private voluntary organizations (PVOs) and cooperative development organizations (CDOs):
- to target better emergency food aid activities;
- to promote increased household or national food security;
- to develop further and to implement common, generic food aid performance indicators and mutually acceptable implementation methodologies; and
- to establish sound program monitoring and evaluation systems.
Inputs, Outputs and Activities: FY 2002 Program: The Institutional Support Assistance (ISA) program will continue to support sustained improvement in household food security, nutrition and agricultural productivity for food insecure groups served by USAID emergency food aid programs implemented by USAID's Office of Food for Peace (FFP). The program will do so through increasing USAID's FFP partners' effectiveness in carrying out Title II emergency food security activities and meeting critical food needs in emergencies. Substantial portions of this program address partners' capacity to mount effective agricultural, nutrition, and child survival activities, including HIV/AIDS. As a result of these activities, PVOs and CDOs benefit from an increased capacity for Title II emergency response planning, implementation and evaluation.
Planned FY 2003 Program: USAID plans to use the FY 2003 resources to continue to support sustained improvement in household food security, nutrition and agricultural productivity for food insecure groups served by USAID emergency food aid programs implemented by USAID's Office of Food for Peace (FFP). The 14 PVOs and CDOs will complete five-year plans in FY 2003 with improved capacity to target effectively emergency food aid, sound monitoring and evaluation systems making use of common generic indicators and mutually accepted methodologies, and the capacity to foster food security in emergency contexts. In addition, USAID has utilized the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance mechanism to this end.
Performance and Results: In FY 1998, over $24,000,000 in life-of-project funding for ISAs were awarded to 14 PVOs and CDOs. The PVOs are continuing to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems put into place under the ISA grants (FY 1992 - FY 1997). The PVOs are also continuing to build the capacity of both their headquarters and in-country staff through technical exchanges, training workshops, and involvement in monitoring and evaluation activities. Examples of achievements include:
- In FY 2001, CARE integrated advances in cost-effective nutrition programming for emergency planning.
- In FY 2001, Save the Children conducted training for field staff to improve their capacity to implement Title II activities. Save the Children also continued to develop a training module on nutrition assessments integrating the current state of the art knowledge regarding nutrition and anthropometry.
Major Contractors and Grantees: Grantees include Adventist Development and Relief Agency, Africare, ACDI/VOCA, Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), Catholic Relief Services, Food for the Hungry, Food Aid Management, Project Concern International, Save the Children, Technoserve, and World Vision, Inc.
Beginning in FY 2002, the major contractor assisting FFP strategic objective for Title II emergency programs is AMEX, International. It provides institutional support for the Title II program and administrative backstopping. In addition, through Global Health's cooperative agreement with the Academy for Educational Development, the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance (FANTA) project provides technical assistance in performance measurement, health and nutrition.
The World Food Program, other relevant United Nations agencies and the European Commission coordinate with USAID and the U.S. cooperating sponsors on food security policies. The Office of Food for Peace collaborates closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) who administers Title I, Food for Progress and 416(b) surplus food programs.
