The DM will review the following five projects submitted to TDA by the United States-Nigeria Development Institute, an Abuja-based NGO: meat production and marketing; tomato production and marketing; rice farming and milling; agrochemical supply services assistance; and fish farming. The five agriculture projects need further assessment and detailed terms of reference and budget, if recommended. These projects are located in Kano, Edo, Plateau and Gombe States. The DM team will also be requested to review a poultry project that was previously submitted to TDA. In addition, the DM team will review other potential projects, in the same general area as the above stated projects, which they become aware of before and/or during their visit to Nigeria. TDA will support funding for as many feasibility studies as the DM team determines meet TDA requirements. The estimated cost for this work does not exceed $35,000.00. TDA, located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, promotes American private sector participation in developing and middle income countries, with special emphasis on economic sectors that represent significant U.S. export potential. Through the funding of feasibility studies, orientation visits, specialized training grants, business workshops, and various forms of technical assistance, we help U.S. businesses compete for infrastructure projects in emerging markets. We assist in building mutually beneficial partnerships between American companies and overseas project sponsors, which result in increased U.S. exports and jobs, and the completion of high quality, successful projects in host countries.
