About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA-FAS) is seeking applicants for the Cross-Border Plant Health Support in Africa program, a cooperative agreement opportunity with up to $2 million in funding over 3 years. The program aims to strengthen Africa's plant health regulatory systems and facilitate agricultural trade by supporting projects that develop continental sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) frameworks in collaboration with the African Union and its Regional Plant Protection Organization. Eligible applicants include universities, research institutions, and other organizations. Key evaluation criteria include technical approach, applicant expertise, anticipated impact, cost-effectiveness, and past performance. Applications are due by August 9, 2024, with anticipated awards announced on August 30, 2024.
The initial funding amount is $277,000, with potential for additional incremental funding subject to availability.

This program is authorized under the Technical Agricultural Assistance (10.960) grant program within USDA-FAS, which supports a wide range of international capacity building initiatives in partner countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
