Food Assistance for Assets (FFA)
Food Assistance for Assets (FFA)
Most vulnerable and food-insecure people live in fragile, resource-scarce, and degraded environments, in areas that are prone to climate disasters and exposed to frequent shocks.
By partnership with WFP
The Building Foundation for Development’s Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) initiative addresses immediate food needs through cash, voucher, or food transfers, while at the same time it promotes the building or rehabilitation of assets that will improve long-term food security and resilience.
FFA activities aim to create healthier natural environments, reduce the risks and impact of climate shocks, increase food productivity, and strengthen resilience to natural disasters over time.
The impact of FFA programs can be tangible and long-lasting. Since 2019, BFD through FFA programs in more than 11 districts bring many hectares of degraded land back into productive use, build scores of wells, ponds, and feeder roads, and trained the workers in livelihood and agricultural practices.
