Food Aid Nutrition Enhancement Program

The purpose of the Food Aid Nutrition Education Program (FANEP) is to enhance the short and long-term health of individuals, especially infants and young children, at risk for or suffering from malnutrition by further improving the nutritional content, product composition, packaging and other components of food products delivered through humanitarian assistance programs. FANEP grantees will develop and field test new ready-to-use foods, fortified blended foods, high energy foods, micronutrient powders or other food products designed to improve the nutritional delivery and functional form of humanitarian food assistance provided through the McGovern Dole and the Food for Peace Title II programs. FANEP projects may also field test existing food aid foods that have not yet been approved for use in food aid programs.
