These positions serve as Surge Response Group Food for Peace Officers in USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (FFP), which provides over $1.8 billion in food aid grants each year to private voluntary organizations (PVOs) and the UN World Food Program (WFP) both to address short-term emergency needs and longer-term chronic problems. The Surge Response Group (SRG) is a FFP program to satisfy its growing need for surge capacity. FFP’s SRG program will bring on board select candidates who could work on a temporary basis, for no more than 250 days per calendar year, and be deployed within one week to facilitate FFP’s response to emergencies. In some cases, they may be called upon to meet short-term needs to monitor non-emergency programs in the field. SRG positions are contracted for an initial period of one year with the option to extend up to five years. SRG FFP Officers will be considered part of FFP/Washington’s resources.
