OVERVIEW

Food for Peace Management Information System (FFP-MIS) is a comprehensive program, proposal, and financial management system used to enhance the office’s program management and reporting capabilities. It provides a collaborative environment for both FFP and its partners to manage activities and programs. FFP-MIS was designed as a replacement and expansion of the Food for Peace Information System. It replaces the legacy system and also moves FFP from paper processes to an IT system.

The system operates by collecting data directly from Public International Organizations (PIO) and Private Voluntary Organizations (PVO) partners and through direct entry of information by FFP staff. The system collects Food for Peace Program Data including commodity usage (amounts, timing, shipping information, costs), Performance Monitoring data, and budget planning data.
