# Feed the Future — Document Archive
A public archive of reports, evaluations, and strategic materials from the U.S. Government's **Feed the Future** initiative, curated by a former contributor to the initiative's annual reporting and program evaluation work.
## About Feed the Future
**Feed the Future** is the United States Government's flagship global hunger and food security initiative. It was launched in 2010 under President Obama in response to the 2007–2008 global food price crisis, and was subsequently codified into law through the **Global Food Security Act of 2016** (reauthorized in 2018 and again in 2022).
The initiative is coordinated by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and brings together a whole-of-government partnership that includes USAID, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Department of State, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, the Peace Corps, the Department of the Treasury, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the U.S. African Development Foundation.
### Mission
Feed the Future works to end global hunger, poverty, and malnutrition by supporting country-led efforts to build inclusive, resilient, and sustainable food systems. The initiative targets the root causes of food insecurity rather than emergency response alone, pairing humanitarian assistance with long-term agricultural development.
### Strategic Objectives
The current **U.S. Government Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) 2022–2026** organizes Feed the Future's work around three mutually reinforcing objectives:
1. **Inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led economic growth** — strengthening agricultural productivity, markets, and trade.
2. **Strengthened resilience among people and systems** — helping vulnerable households and communities withstand and recover from shocks.
3. **A well-nourished population, especially among women and children** — improving diets, nutrition services, and maternal and child health outcomes.
These objectives are pursued alongside cross-cutting priorities including gender equality and women's empowerment, youth engagement, climate adaptation, good governance, and private-sector engagement.
### Target Countries (GFSS 2022–2026)
Feed the Future concentrates resources in 20 target countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean:
Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
### Reporting and Accountability
Under the Global Food Security Act, the U.S. Government is required to report annually to Congress on progress against the Global Food Security Strategy. These reports synthesize performance data, program evaluations, learning, and financial information from across participating agencies, and form the backbone of the initiative's public accountability.
## About This Repository
This repository collects publicly releasable documents related to Feed the Future, with an emphasis on:
- **Annual reports to Congress** and associated data appendices
- **Program evaluations** (impact, performance, and mid-term/final evaluations)
- **Strategic planning documents** (GFSS, country plans, Zones of Influence)
- **Methodological and technical reference materials** supporting the monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) agenda
The goal is to make these materials easier to find, cite, and reuse for researchers, implementers, policymakers, students, and the broader development community.
