Breakout Session: USAID’s Follow-on Mechanism for the Technical and Operational Performance Support Program (TOPS)

• Implementer-centered model: TOPS was designed to of direct benefit to the implementer community, directly responding to needs identified by the community with minimal mediation by Food for Peace. To a large degree, its implementation has reflected that. Do you think this same model is of value going forward?

• Supporting field-level implementation: TOPS has made great strides in expanding its reach from Washington DC to the country level through trainings, knowledge sharing meetings and other efforts. Do you think that further support would be valuable at the country level to support improved performance? If so, what form could this support take? Think structurally as well as in terms of capabilities or focus areas.

• Supporting emergency programs: Supporting FFP’s complex and multi-sectoral development programs has been a priority for the current TOPS mechanism. Would there be value in a future mechanism expanding more broadly into supporting improved implementation of emergency programs? If so, what focus areas would most benefit from this support?

McGovern Dole School Meals Learning Agenda

MGD Learning Agenda themes: 1) school meals program systems, 2) education

and literacy, 3) health, 4) nutrition, and 5) agriculture

Research questions include:

What are the most supportive policies affecting the success of school meal

programs, and what are the necessary conditions for these policies to be

implemented and to be effective?

What school meal modality (breakfast, lunch, snack, or a combination thereof) is

the most effective at improving immediate outcomes, such as attendance or

concentration, versus longer-term outcomes, such as cognitive development or

learning achievement?

What community-level systems of governance and management are required for

the successful implementation and sustainability of school meal programs?

What is the effect of school based micronutrient supplementation and/or

fortification on long-term educational outcomes such cognition and knowledge

acquisition?

FFPr Learning Agenda themes: 1) value chains, 2) market linkages, 3) quality

and standards, 4) risk and uncertainty, and 5) gender (cross-cutting)

Research questions include:

To what extent can informal and/or formal contracts be effective at reducing

risk among farmers, suppliers and traders?

How can technology better support farmers and traders in meeting required

quality standards in a collaborative and multi-beneficial manner?

To what extent does increasing market linkages promote economic growth

among buyers, sellers, and processors at various levels, such as companies,

SMEs, smallholders, the ultra-poor, and middlemen traders? What levels and

types of market linkages effectively expand the market overall?

What are the best methods to improve the post-harvest stage of the value

chain, in order to maintain quality and value of crops after the harvest?

Facility Guarantee Program

Designed to boost sales of U.S. agricultural commodities in countries where demand may be limited to inadequate storage, processing, handling, or distribution capabilities.

Under the FGP, USDA provides credit guarantees to facilitate the financing of manufactured goods and U.S. services to improve or establish agriculture-related facilities in emerging markets.

Repayment terms may range up to 10 years, depending on details of the transaction and the emerging market.

Approved transactions must primarily benefit U.S. agricultural commodity exports, and must be reviewed for

potential environmental and social impacts.

Program will be made operational during fiscal year 2016.

Food for Progress (FFPr)

The Food for Progress Program helps developing countries and emerging

democracies modernize and strengthen their agricultural sectors.

Food for Progress has two principal objectives: to improve agricultural

productivity and to expand trade of agricultural products.

Past Food for Progress projects have trained farmers in animal and plant health,

improved farming methods, developed road and utility systems, established

producer cooperatives, provided microcredit, and developed agricultural value

chains. Program participants have included private voluntary organizations,

foreign governments, universities, and intergovernmental organizations

McGovern-Dole School Feeding

The McGovern–Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition

Program helps support education, child development and food security in low-

income, food-deficit countries around the globe.

The key objective of the McGovern-Dole Program is to reduce hunger and

improve literacy and primary education, especially for girls. By providing school

meals, teacher training and related support, McGovern-Dole projects help boost

school enrollment and academic performance.

McGovern-Dole projects are conducted by non-profit charitable organizations,

cooperatives, the United Nations World Food Program and other international

organizations. FAS announces a list of priority countries each year, based on

factors such as per-capita income and literacy and malnutrition rates.

FSA-EPAS

Large Global Food Supplies in 2016

Overall Outlook Remains Favorable for End Users

• World supplies of major grains are huge and carryover stocks for

2016 very large.

• The oilseed outlook is tighter as demand gains outpace supply

increase.

• El Nino: impact was relatively minor globally, but severe in several

locations and for certain crops.

• Grain prices declining in 2016 but increases likely for soybeans,

pulses, and sugar.

• Huge production response might lead to lower pulse prices after

harvest.

• Global dairy market remains depressed (weak prices) in 2016 but

expected to improve gradually into 2017.

38

Data presented today based on USDA’s May 2016 forecasts,

the first for the 2016/17 year.

FSA-EPAS

Sharp Downturn for U.S. Agriculture

• Another year of low income on

low crop prices and sticky

input costs.

• Livestock sector faring better

as lower crop prices mean

cheaper feed.

• Very competitive international

markets limit U.S. export gains.

• The domestic markets are

relatively mature, i.e. slow

growth.

• Big gains in biofuel have

stopped. $0

The Global Economy is Weak Pick another word? Moribund, tepid, staid, dour, etc.

• The global economy is moving

slowly, with more ‘flashpoints’

than any time in recent

memory. *

• China’s slowdown and weak

commodity prices taking their

toll on emerging markets.

• Low incomes and large

supplies suggest low ag prices

continue and do not bode well

for most farmers.

• However, the dollar has been a

bit weaker in recent weeks and

oil prices have been rising.

FSA-EPAS

Implications of Poor Macroeconomic Outlook

• Weak demand for food and agricultural commodities will limit

upward pressure on prices.

• Weak income will limit many countries’ ability to purchase food

commercially.

• In regions hard hit by El Nino, lack of money will constrain efforts to

recover from serious food shortfalls.

• Poor economic outlook means very low interest rates.

• The commodity price crash in recent years burned many investors.

• However, some funds desperate for higher returns are starting to

move back into commodities, raising volatility.

What’s going on?

• Fund investments underlie the

dramatic rally.

• It started on higher palm oil

prices, and appreciation of

Brazil’s currency.

• Accelerated as flooding hit

Argentina’s soy crop at harvest.

• Even with some losses, South

American crop is still large, but

strong demand partly accounts for

the market response.

Perspective on the Current

Agricultural Downturn

• Farmers had expected lower prices but they had not

thought that “prices would drop as low as they did.”

• They borrowed more money “to keep themselves

going…”

• “in the face of a continuing decline in prices of almost all

of their crops, they put out ample acreage in the spring…”

• “Fortunately, there is a brighter side to the picture…

prices for livestock are much higher” than for grain.

FOOD SECURITY IMPLICATIONS

OF THE 2015/16 EL NIÑO

__________________________________________ FAMINE EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS NETWORK

Key Messages

The 2015/16 El Niño is dissipating, but has already contributed to

widespread drought across many areas in Central America, the Caribbean,

East Africa, and Southern Africa.

In countries covered by FEWS NET ~44 million people will be in Crisis (IPC

Phase 3) or worse during FY16. This reflects a 50% increase compared to

FEWS NET’s estimates for FY15. This event comes on top of other ongoing

large-scale emergencies (Yemen, South Sudan, NE Nigeria and Syria).

It is most likely there will be a rapid transition to La Niña in the second half

of 2016, increasing the likelihood of drought in the Horn of Africa during

late 2016.

Estimated FY16 emergency food assistance needs

FY16: ~44 million people in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or

worse in FEWS NET countries

Assistance needs are +50% vs. FY15

Half of FEWS NET countries and ~40% of food

insecure households are directly impacted by El Niño

FFPIB 16-01: Award Requirements for Source and

Origin of Local, Regional, and International

Procurement (LRP)

• FFP defines regional procurement as commodities

procured within the same continent as the

country in which they will be distributed.

• FFP requires reporting on both source and origin;

commodities of international origin will require

FFP Director approval.

• Commodities must be procured from countries

up to Lower Middle Income on the OECD DAC

List.
