Opportunity Information: Apply for 72068819RFA00005
The Mali GFSS Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 72068819RFA00005) is a USAID/Mali request for applications designed to fund a coordinated set of activities that advance Mali's Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) Country Plan, commonly referenced as Feed the Future (FTF). USAID's intent is to support several separate but connected projects, with each award focusing on a single activity. Even though the awards are meant to stand on their own, USAID expects the different projects to be aligned and mutually reinforcing within the same general geographic zone of influence, so that results stack together rather than operating in isolation.
The GFSS Country Plan in Mali is organized around three core objectives. The first is inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led growth, which points to improving agricultural performance and market participation in ways that are broadly shared across different groups, including smallholder farmers and other rural actors. The second objective is increased resilience of people and communities to economic, health, and climate shocks, signaling an emphasis on helping households and local systems better withstand and recover from disruptions such as price volatility, illness, drought, flooding, or other climate-related stresses. The third objective is improved nutrition and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) status, with particular attention to women, adolescent girls, and children, reflecting USAID's focus on vulnerable populations and the links between agriculture, diets, health, and household well-being. USAID indicates that the overall set of cooperative agreements funded under this notice is expected to contribute to achieving all three objectives, even if each individual award concentrates on one primary activity.
Programmatically, USAID/Mali anticipates making multiple cooperative agreement awards, subject to available funding, centered on two key GFSS components. The first component is market systems improvement, specifically improving the delivery of quality products and services. This generally implies strengthening how markets function so producers and other value chain actors can reliably access inputs, services, finance, and buyer relationships, with better quality and consistency. The second component is agricultural production, focused on sustainable intensification of targeted value chains. This points toward increasing productivity and production outcomes in prioritized crops or commodities while promoting sustainability, which typically includes better agronomic practices, resource management, and approaches that maintain gains over time rather than relying on short-term boosts.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is offered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Mali USAID-Bamako, under CFDA 98.001, with an activity category of Agriculture. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID anticipates substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating during implementation compared with a standard grant. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, open to any type of entity as allowed by the opportunity's eligibility language. The notice indicates an anticipated total award ceiling of $19,950,000 and an expectation of around five awards. The opportunity was created on October 18, 2019, with an original closing date of December 19, 2019.Apply for 72068819RFA00005
