USAID/Ghana Feed the Future Agriculture Policy Support Project

The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Ghana Mission (USAID/Ghana) is soliciting proposals from qualified organizations interested in providing the services described in the attached solicitation.

This procurement is being conducted through full and open competition for which the procedures for "contracting by negotiation, trade-off process", as described in Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), will apply.

Proposals will be accepted from US and Non-US private, for-profit and non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) including universities, research organizations, professional associations, and relevant special interest associations. Faith-based and community organizations are also eligible for award. In support of implementation and procurement reforms USAID is interested in expanding the number and sustainability of development partners, USAID/Ghana encourages proposals from potential new and/or local partners.

The main goal of the FTF-USAID Policy Project is to improve the food security enabling environment for private sector investment in support of USAID/Ghana's FTF Intermediate Result (IR) 1: Increase the competitiveness of rice, maize, soya, and marine fisheries value chains in ways that foster broad based and sustained economic growth. 

The Project's purpose is to increase the capacity of the Government of Ghana, the private sector, and Civil Society Organizations to implement evidence-based policy formation, implementation, research, and advocacy and perform rigorous monitoring and evaluation of agricultural programs implemented under the Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (METASIP).
