United States Agency for International Development in Ethiopia is inviting concept papers on The Innovation Fund for Ethiopia Agriculture (IFEA) from local organizations related to the Mission’s efforts on Food Security and Nutrition under the Feed the Future Strategy. The major aim of the funding opportunity is to assist households that are chronically food insecure and /or suffer from poor nutrition status to participate in activities that will lead to food and nutrition security.
Eligibility Criteria –
- Ethiopian Non-Governmental Organizations and Ethiopian national or private research institutes are eligible to apply. They can form partnerships with US and International NGOs but such partnerships will be limited to 25% of the total agreement.
- Projects should demonstrate new approaches to agriculture and nutrition linkages and help create households that are food secure, meaning the ability to reliably gain access to food in sufficient quantity and quality for all household members ( in particular pregnant and lactating women and children through two years of age) to enjoy a healthy and active life as well as nutrition secure which is achieved when secure access to food is coupled with a sanitary environment, adequate health services, and knowledgeable care to ensure a healthy and active life for all household members.
- The activities should focus on resilience which is defined as “the ability of people, households, communities, countries, and systems to mitigate, adapt to and recover from shocks and stresses in a manner that reduces chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth.
