The Agricultural Trade Development Assistance Act of 1954 (Public Law 480 or P.L. 480), as amended, is the statutory authority for the Title II Food for Peace Program. The intent of the Food for Peace Program is to promote food security in the developing world through humanitarian and developmental uses of food assistance. The United States remains committed to rebuilding northern Uganda by providing humanitarian assistance, including food, shelter, water, sanitation, and relief to vulnerable people. The mission’s FY 2009 program budget includes $23 million for its P.L. 480 food distribution program.

This audit will determine whether USAID/Uganda’s P.L. 480 Title II nonemergency food aid assistance program is improving food security.
