DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO CUSTOMER

Project management for all activities to ensure that the project remained on time, on scope, on quality and on contract.

FFP was provided complete system and information security guidance per NIST and FISMA best practices, and an alternative analysis of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) software products to support FFP's business needs.

OUTCOME/VALUE/BENEFIT TO CUSTOMER

By providing the above services, the administration processes of USAID's Title II Program were streamlined, and FFP received system analysis and implementation guidance to support FFP's needs. The final recommended solutions adhere to presidential transparency and accountability objectives, and allow USAID to focus on and be more responsive to food insecurity within vulnerable populations in over 150 countries.
