About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (NEA/AC) and Embassy Tunis Assistance Unit are seeking proposals for a cooperative agreement to improve the capacity of Tunisian farmers, fishers, agriculture and fishery firms, and cooperatives to adapt to climate change. The project should promote the use of climate and data science to spur innovations and upgrades while working with the private sector, government-run educational institutions, small farmers and fishers, and other key stakeholders, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Hydraulic Resources and Fisheries (MAHRF) and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MHESR). Proposals are due by June 30, 2022.
The funding for this opportunity is provided through the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (CFDA No. 19.600), which supports the foreign assistance goals and objectives of the Department of State. The project is intended to assist small farmers and fishers to improve operations, boost yields, and access new resources and technologies while also connecting Tunisian and U.S. research institutions for technology transfer to develop, fund, and deploy local climate-smart technologies and innovations.
