Opportunity Summary:
The Feed the Future Liberia Agribusiness Development Activity (LADA) was a USAID/Liberia grant opportunity designed to support agricultural and agribusiness development in Liberia under the broader Feed the Future initiative. USAID’s Mission in Liberia announced that it was seeking applications from qualified organizations to implement a program focused on agriculture, with the intent of making a single award through a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically signals that USAID expected to stay substantially involved during implementation, working closely with the recipient on technical direction, coordination, and achievement of results.
This opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number SOL 669 15 000021 and carried the title "Feed the Future Liberia Agribusiness Development Activity (LADA)." It fell under the Agriculture funding activity category and was listed with the CFDA number 98.001, which corresponds to USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. The opportunity category was labeled "Other," but the instrument type clearly identified it as a cooperative agreement rather than a contract or standard grant.
USAID anticipated making one award with a total estimated funding amount of $20,037,501. The funding structure was very specific: the award ceiling and award floor were both $20,037,501, indicating USAID expected to fund one recipient at essentially a fixed total amount rather than selecting among proposals at different budget levels. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, unless the full solicitation text introduced additional expectations.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, provided the applicant met any additional eligibility clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. The posting date was June 26, 2015, with a creation date listed as July 17, 2015. The original closing date was July 31, 2015, but the deadline was later extended to August 7, 2015, giving applicants additional time to prepare and submit their materials.
The notice identified USAID Monrovia (Liberia USAID) as the issuing agency. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, USAID provided a point of contact: Edward Lamin, an Acquisition Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at 231 77 6777000 and by email at elamin@usaid.gov.
