The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program (IFEP) is a food aid program authorized in the 2002 farm bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 3107) which provides for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities and associated financial and technical assistance to carry out preschool and school feeding programs in foreign countries. Maternal, infant and child nutrition programs also are authorized under this program. The program was first implemented in FY2003 with $100 million of Commodity Credit Corporation funds as stipulated in the 2002 farm bill. Beginning in FY2004, the authorizing statute provides for the program to be carried out with appropriated funding. The FY2004 agricultural appropriations act (P.L. 108-199) provided $50 million to carry out the program. IFPED began in FY2000 as a pilot project and was called Global Food for Education Initiative (GFEI). It used the donation of surplus agricultural commodities under Section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949 (P.L. 89-439, as amended) to support a global school feeding program.
