Event Information

The recording for this webinar is now available! Unfortunately, the audio is partly missing during the last 20 minutes of the recording (during the Q&A portion of the webinar). We are working to repair the recording and restore the audio. But the first 1.5 hours contains the full presentations by Anne and Kate, with tons of useful information!

A transcript of the webinar and an FAQ document are on the way.

About FTFMS: The Feed the Future Monitoring System (FTFMS) is part of an interagency effort to consolidate USG reporting on Feed the Future activities. USAID, USDA, MCC, Peace Corps, Treasury, and the US-Africa Development Foundation contribute data to FTFMS. FTFMS indicator data are the official data for Feed the Future, provide the foundation for the Feed the Future Progress Report, and inform decisions on future programming and budget allocations.
