What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
The purpose of this Annual Program Statement (APS) is to invite applicants to propose the sharing of proven Indian agriculture innovations in Kenya, Liberia, and Malawi, which are the USAID Feed the Future focus countries in Africa. The APS is open for submission of concept papers until Dec 30, 2013 with four rounds of concept paper submissions on a quarterly basis. Concept papers received until the deadlines provided on the cover page of the APS will be evaluated by USAID to decide which of these warrant an invitation to submit a full application.

The process will be repeated for all concept papers received up to Dec 30, 2013. Submission instructions for the concept papers and full application are provided in Section III of the APS. USAID does not guarantee that any award shall be made against this APS.
