Opportunity Summary:
The Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance II (FANTA II) Activity is a USAID discretionary grant opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement, focused on providing food and nutrition technical assistance to support U.S. foreign assistance programs overseas. In practical terms, this kind of award is typically used when the agency expects substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the work, rather than simply funding an applicant to operate independently. The opportunity sits within the broader USAID portfolio for food and nutrition programming and is tied to CFDA number 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance for overseas programs.
This funding opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number USAID M OAA GH 08 179, and it was posted and created on February 21, 2008. The application deadline (original and final) was March 28, 2008, and the opportunity was later archived on April 27, 2008. The award amount is listed with both a floor and a ceiling of $100,000,000, which signals that USAID anticipated making a single award at that level (or that the opportunity was designed around a fixed planned award size rather than a range). The listing also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients would be expected to contribute some portion of resources toward the overall project, consistent with the specific terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, nonprofits, universities, private firms, and potentially other entities), subject to any additional clarifications that may have been included in the full text of the announcement. Because this is a cooperative agreement in the food and nutrition category, the work would generally be expected to strengthen nutrition-related program design and implementation, improve the quality and use of evidence and tools, and support USAID missions and partners with specialized expertise in food and nutrition programming across countries and regions where USAID operates.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a specific point of contact at USAID: Ousmane Faye, Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at (202) 712 0832 or by email at ofaye@usaid.gov.
