The USAID-funded Agriculture and Rural Empowerment (ARE) Activity, implemented by Chemonics International, is seeking to solicit concept notes, from legally registered private sector entities and/or agricultural cooperatives/associations, so called “Champion Firms”, active in the Orchard and Vine fruits Value Chain (stone fruits, citrus, grapes, pome fruits and olives) to “reduce food insecurity and ameliorate the value chain stakeholders’ livelihoods” by improving their productivity and reducing their costs, increasing therefore their income at both the farm (production) and firm (storage, sorting, processing and packaging) levels.
ARE intends to award up to six (6) grants that will be implemented in accordance with USAID and US Government regulations governing grants under contracts and ARE’s internal grant management policies.
