USAID’s Office of Food for Peace Policy and Guidance for Monitoring, evaluation and report for emergency food security activities

The mission of the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Office of Food for Peace (FFP) is to partner with others to reduce hunger and malnutrition, and ensure that all individuals have adequate, safe, and nutritious food to support a healthy and productive life. Through its emergency awards, FFP provides food assistance to save lives, reduce suffering, and support the early recovery of populations affected by both acute and protracted emergencies. FFP 2016-2025 Food Assistance and Food Security Strategy presents the history and evolution of FFP's food assistance and food security programs as well as outlines FFP's strategy. FFP responds to emergency situations, or crises, where the food supply is severely disrupted and populations lack access to sufficient food through normally available means such as production, barter, or purchase in markets. Such situations may involve drought, floods, earthquakes, and/or civil conflict.
