Opportunity Information: Apply for AID FFP 17 00001
USAID's Office of Food for Peace (FFP) issued this discretionary Request for Applications titled "Request for Applications for Development Food Security Activities in Uganda" (Funding Opportunity Number AID FFP 17 00001). The opportunity is designed to fund development-oriented food assistance projects in Uganda, with an overall focus that aligns with food security and agricultural development outcomes. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means applicants should expect substantial involvement by USAID during implementation, including coordination on planning, monitoring, and key deliverables. The program is listed under CFDA 98.007, and the activity category is identified as Agriculture, signaling that proposed work is expected to address food security through agriculture-related strategies and associated systems (for example, production, resilience, livelihoods, and related enabling conditions).
Eligibility is centered on organizations that fit Food for Peace and USAID requirements. Applications may be submitted by private voluntary organizations (PVOs) or cooperatives that are, to the extent practicable, registered with the USAID Administrator. This eligibility explicitly includes both U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofit organizations. Intergovernmental organizations are also eligible, with the World Food Program provided as an example. The notice also emphasizes that eligible NGOs are those defined under Section 402 of the Food for Peace Act and consistent with USAID's PVO Registration guidance. In practical terms, applicants should be prepared to demonstrate their organizational status and, where applicable, their registration standing with USAID, because that is a stated condition for being considered for an award.
The solicitation also addresses how consortia must apply. If a group of organizations applies together, the applicant organization must be the consortium lead. The lead is responsible for clearly identifying all other consortium members and any individuals who will be tied to implementation as described in the application, along with every sub-awardee. Beyond listing partners, the application must spell out the roles and responsibilities of each member and sub-awardee so that USAID can understand exactly who is doing what and how accountability will be managed. A specific budgeting requirement is included as well: separate budgets must be attached for each consortium member and for all sub-awardees. This signals that USAID expects a transparent financial breakdown across implementing entities, rather than a single aggregated budget that obscures partner-level costs.
Key administrative details included in the source data are the original closing date of April 12, 2017, and the creation date of February 17, 2017. The award ceiling and expected number of awards are not specified in the information provided, which typically means applicants would need to consult the full funding announcement for anticipated funding ranges, award size, and the number of planned awards (if those were later clarified). Overall, the opportunity is a Food for Peace development food assistance competition for Uganda, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, open to qualified PVOs/cooperatives and intergovernmental organizations, with clear expectations around consortium leadership, partner disclosure, role definition, and partner-specific budgeting.Apply for AID FFP 17 00001
