Past Programming Methods by FFP

Emergency and development separated, legislative requirements

Development activities address root cause of poverty and vulnerability

Emergency relief responds to crisis

One set of guidelines for both emergency and development programs

We encourage integration of approachesLonger-term planning in

emergency programsRisk awareness in

development programs

Impetus for Shift

Worldwide rise in Complex emergenciesEmergency and Non-Emergency

Activities can occur over same spatial and temporal scales

When Disaster occurs, Loss of programming Continuity

FFP Funding for Development-ReliefTerminology...

Single-year assistance programs (SYAP) = emergency resources

Multi-year assistance programs (MYAP) = both emergency and non-emergency resourcesActivities targeting the chronically food

insecure = non-emergency resourcesSafety-net activities that target transitory

food insecurity = emergency resources

How we decide where we work… Malnourishment Indicators

1. high rate of child malnutrition > 20% underweight or > 30% stunting among

children under the age of 5 years

2. high rates of malnutrition plus high proportion living in poverty

>25% of the population living under $1/day or an equivalent measure

HIGH PRIORITY ISSUESLeveraging of Resourcesif Food Security Objective is met

1. Global Development Alliance (GDA)

2. HIV/AIDS (PEPFAR)

3. Food for Education

4. Integration with DA Funding

5. Faith-based and Community Initiative
