4 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

5 P.L. 480 Title II Guidelines FY06 One set of guidelines for both emergency and development programs We encourage integration of approaches  Longer-term planning in emergency programs  Risk awareness in development programs

6 Impetus for Shift Worldwide rise in Complex emergencies Emergency and Non-Emergency Activities can occur over same spatial and temporal scales When Disaster occurs, Loss of programming Continuity

7 FFP Funding for Development-Relief Terminology... Single-year assistance programs (SYAP) = emergency resources Multi-year assistance programs (MYAP) = both emergency and non-emergency resources  Activities targeting the chronically food insecure = non-emergency resources  Safety-net activities that target transitory food insecurity = emergency resources What’s Different Here...??

8 Chronically Food Insecurity Population All Non-Emergency Resources MYAP

9 Chronically Food Insecurity Population Shock in Year 3 (+Emergency Resources)

10 FFP Funding Development-Relief Additional ER made available to fund the “surge” in safety-net requirements for the transitorily food insecure IF, planned for in proposal, by monitoring of early warning indicators/ trigger mechanisms  FEWSnet, GIEWS  Water gauge, Market prices, Child weight

11 Population Transitioning from Emergency Shock in Year Two SYAPMYAP

12 FFP Funding Disaster Mitigation Activities to strengthen disaster management or emergency preparedness may be funded with emergency funding IF, they are identified in the program design and if they are single-year activities.

13 Development Relief Environmentally-Sound Design MYAPs  IEE Required at Submission of Proposal  Annual ESRs SYAPs  IEE Required if Emergency Extends Beyond 1 Year

14 Development-Relief Beneficial to ESD... Risk Aware  Conserve natural resources to protect rural livelihoods Long-Term Planning  Minimize problems caused by emergency response Fuel Wood & Deforestation

17 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

18 HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES Leveraging of Resources if 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 6.
