Description
This
is a pre-funding opportunity announcement only. USAID/RDMA anticipates awarding
a five-year cooperative agreement (CA) to facilitate agricultural technology
diffusion in Asia. The CA will support an organization, or consortium of
organizations with one legal entity as primary lead, to catalyze the transfer
of scalable technology across the South and Southeast Asia regions, with a
particular focus on Feed the Future (FTF) focus
countries Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Nepal. The program will consist of four
components: 1. The first component will be
horticulture. The Recipient will identify a compelling regional horticultural
problem, for which effective solutions can be explored through technology
innovation and diffusion, preferably in partnership with regional private
sector and/or academic partners. 2. The second component, with conditions
similar to the above, will be aquaculture. The aquaculture interventions should
aim to improve the sustainability of production. 3.The
third component reflects USAID/RDMA’s overarching vision for the activity, and
will require the Recipient to develop and deliver an approach for identifying
and implementing interventions addressing important regional agriculture or
food security problems, through broad engagement with relevant stakeholders
across the region. 4. The fourth component will be dynamic and flexible and
will respond to the specific requests of the bilateral USAID FTF missions for
support in addressing a problem through transferred technology.
