Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA FAS 10960 0700 10 22 0038
The grant opportunity "Support Country Action Planning to Transform and Strengthen the Resilience of Food Systems" is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), specifically its Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). It is designed to strengthen the evidence base and technical inputs that Feed the Future (FtF) partner countries use when they create, update, or renew their FtF country action plans and strategies. Feed the Future is the U.S. Government's interagency global food security initiative, authorized under the Global Food Security Act and guided by the Global Food Security Strategy, with roughly $1 billion per year in funding across the broader initiative. In this context, USDA is positioning its scientific and technical capacity, along with external expertise, to help shape practical, science-based strategies that improve food security and nutrition while building resilience to climate and other shocks.
At its core, the award supports applied, regionally or country-specific research and analysis focused on food and agricultural systems. Rather than prescribing a fixed set of studies in advance, USDA indicates that the exact analyses, assessments, or research products will be identified and agreed on collaboratively after an award is made. The selected recipient is expected to function as part of a USDA/FAS-led effort, providing expert consultations rooted in research and analysis to support the initiation, development, revision, or renewal of action plans for the 20 Feed the Future countries. This implies an on-demand, problem-solving role where technical work is shaped by planning needs and policy questions that arise during strategy development.
A key expectation is that the recipient will assemble and manage teams of subject matter experts who can contribute across food and agricultural sciences and broader food systems topics. These experts would help countries and U.S. Government partners think through how to transform food systems and strengthen resilience, including the ability to withstand and recover from disruptions such as climate impacts. The work is intended to directly support FtF objectives by improving the quality and relevance of country strategies, grounding decisions in evidence, and ensuring that planning reflects local and regional realities rather than generic assumptions.
USDA describes three main outcomes the activity is intended to achieve. First, it aims to connect Feed the Future planning processes with regionally or country-tailored technical expertise that can inform realistic action plans to reduce food insecurity. Second, it seeks to improve understanding of country circumstances through targeted research and analysis, done in consultation with partners and including U.S. Government personnel, and organized around specific research questions that matter for strategy design and implementation. Third, it emphasizes producing written reports and other information products and publishing or disseminating them so they can be used both to support the strategies and plans themselves and to communicate and explain FtF approaches to stakeholders.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number USDA FAS 10960 0700 10 22 0038 and falls under CFDA 10.960 (Agriculture). The funding instrument type is listed as "Other" rather than a standard grant or cooperative agreement label in the summary provided, and the program anticipates making a single award.
