- Description
- USAID/Ethiopia intends to award a five-year $35-$38 million contract under the US Government's Feed the Future (FtF) Initiative, through a competitive Full and Open Request for Proposal. This investment, in concert with the crop value chain program "Agriculture Growth Program-Value Chain Enhancement" (AGP-VCE) will also serve as part of USAID's contribution to the Government of Ethiopia's (GoE's) Agricultural Development Program (AGP). The goal of the FtF, "to sustainably reduce poverty and hunger" aligns well with AGP's goal " to end poverty and enhance growth." USAID/Ethiopia's new project, Livestock Growth Program (LGP), will foster growth and reduce poverty through improving the competitiveness of selected livestock value chains in target woredas to the benefit of large numbers of smallholders and pastoralists. Additionally, AGP-LGP will reduce hunger through income increases and job creation for rural households. AGP-LGP will support the GOE led AGP's component 3 ' Market and Agribusiness Development'. AGP - LGP Contractor is expected to achieve ambitious targets and results including not limited to (a) increase livestock smallholders income by 50 percent (b) increase value and volumes of meat and live animal exports by $300million and 150,000mts respectively (b) leverage private sector investment worth of $80million (c) link vulnerable households and pastoralists to livestock value chains (d) improve nutritional status of children,vulnerable groups and HIV/AIDs affected persons.
