Please find attached the revised Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Request for Application (RFA) for the Office of Food for Peace (FFP) Development Food Security Activity in Mali. The revised RFA addresses the pertinent questions received during the question period for the subject RFA. USAID did not respond to questions individually, but has addressed pertinent questions in the revised RFA. The revised RFA also addresses recent revisions to the Automated Directives System (ADS) 303.  

Applications are still due by Tuesday, February 18, 2020, 11:59 a.m. EDT (Eastern Daylight Time). Please do not wait until the last day to submit applications. USAID/FFP will work toward an expedient decision and will inform successful applicants of its decision.
