The funding opportunity (USDA-FAS-10.608-0700-25-(685) for Senegal) is part of a broader initiative covering multiple countries, with individual awards typically ranging from $20-30 million and spanning 3-5 year project periods. Applicants are expected to allocate approximately 10% of the total award for local commodity procurement and a minimum of 3% for monitoring and evaluation activities, with strategic objectives including improved literacy for school-aged children and increased adoption of health and nutrition practices.
