Faith Based and Community Initiatives in International Food Assistance
|
Faith-based and community-based organizations (FBOs and CBOs) have a long history of involvement in the FAS’ food aid programs and a tradition of carrying out programs of assistance in developing countries around the world. These organizations are important and long-standing partners in the Department of Agriculture’s efforts to provide food to hungry people, humanitarian assistance to those in need, and agricultural development support to newly emerging democracies. FAS’ food aid programs operate through a variety of cooperating sponsors, which include private voluntary organizations (PVOs), non-profit organizations, cooperatives, foreign governments and intergovernmental organizations. FAS’ food aid program policy encourages the participation of FBOs/CBOs on an equal footing with other kinds of cooperating sponsors and avoids barriers that would make their participation difficult.
