II. STATEMENT OF DUTIES

General Statement of Purpose of the Contract

Introduction

The congressionally mandated John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer to Farmer Program (F2F) is housed in the Bureau of Resilience and Food Security (RFS) and is funded through Title II of the Food for Peace (P.L. 480) Act. RFS is responsible for global leadership and integrated technical expertise in agricultural-led growth, resilience, nutrition, water security, sanitation, and hygiene. RFS leads the USAID’s efforts to help governments, civil society, the private sector, and communities in our partner countries break the cycle of crisis, chronic vulnerability, poverty, and hunger, with the goals of increasing resilience and self-reliance and contributing to U.S. national security and economic prosperity.

Background

The primary goal of F2F is to generate sustainable, broad-based economic growth in the agricultural sector, which aligns well with the role of RFS as the lead for the U.S.

Government’s global hunger and food-security initiative, Feed the Future (FTF), guided by the whole-of-Government Global Food-Security Strategy (GFSS). A secondary goal is to increase the American public’s understanding of international development issues and programs and international understanding of the U.S. and U.S. development programs.

F2F objectives are to: 1) increase agricultural sector productivity and profitability; 2) improve conservation and sustainable use of environmental and natural resources; 3) expand sector access to financial services; and 4) strengthen agricultural sector institutions. Over a five- year program cycle, the F2F Program works in about 40 countries. It works mainly through nine cooperative agreements for core projects and about 10 smaller activities that involve additional NGOs and universities. The five-year core program budget is $75 million. Since F2F’s inception in 1985 to date, the program has completed over 20,300 volunteer assignments with 13,312 host organizations, directly assisting more than 1.5 million agricultural professionals and impacting over 178 million indirect beneficiaries.
