Description
USAID intends to issue a full and open solicitation for a multi-year contract for the USAID Tajikistan Agriculture and Water to Optimize Nutrition (TAWON) project. This agricultural and water project is a key component in USAID Tajikistan's overall Feed the Future (FTF) program. USAID TAWON will directly support FTF objectives by assisting smallholder farmers to increase, diversify, and add value to their agricultural production to address dietary deficiencies and market surplus production. USAID TAWON will place special emphasis on engaging women in all activities. USAID TAWON's agricultural interventions will represent part of a broader portfolio of non-agricultural FTF Tajikistan activities implemented through separate mechanisms to address sanitation, hygiene, health behavior change, iodized salt, wheat fortification, and promoting private sector entrepreneurship. USAID TAWON will address the lack of dietary diversity and poor nutrition by focusing on five (5) nutrition sensitive agriculture sectors. These five sectors will include Agriculture Extension, Vegetables, Fruits, Dairy, and Irrigation Water. This combination of activities will increase agricultural production which will directly address lack of Vitamin A, Iron, Zinc, and animal protein in the diet. Agriculture production activities must be linked and coordinated with on-going USAID nutrition activities to assure target beneficiaries properly consume adequate amounts of agricultural products targeted by USAID TAWON. The solicitation is anticipated to be released by January 1, 2015 and will be made available electronically upon its release to www.fbo.gov.
