The USAID/Ethiopia Agricultural Growth Program-Agribusiness and Market Development (AGP-AMDe) Project is the flagship project under USAID's Feed the Future (FTF) Strategy for Ethiopia and is USAID's largest contribution to the government of Ethiopia's (GoE) Agricultural Growth Program (AGP). AGP supports the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Program (CAADP) framework by strengthening agricultural productivity and markets in the high rainfall regions of Amhara; Oromia; Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region (SNNPR); and Tigray.
In line with the overall objectives of AGP and the ATA national strategy, AGP-AMDe will sustainably reduce poverty and hunger by improving the productivity and competitiveness of value chains that offer jobs and income opportunities for rural households. Project wide target value chains are wheat, maize, sesame, chickpea, coffee and honey.
ACDI/VOCA, the prime implementing contractor of AGP-AMDe, is soliciting proposals from organizations capable of providing technical assistant to improve the quality of Ethiopian exports including sesame, chickpea, honey and support to coffee to be exported by improving sorting, addressing residual chemical issues and increasing certified organic hectares and facilities. Organizations must also be capable of submitting the required reports as part of the Program's goals of increasing trade of Ethiopian exports of targeted value chains. Emphasis will be placed on quality improvements, market perception, marketing, promotion, increased exports and investments in targeted agricultural products.
