Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "UGANDA FEED THE FUTURE (FTF) PROGRAMS" is an informational notice published by USAID/Uganda (Kampala) to alert the public to anticipated future programming under the U.S. Government's Feed the Future initiative for Uganda in FY 2010. It is explicitly not a call for applications, does not solicit proposals, and does not provide an application deadline in the usual sense. Instead, it points readers to the associated application package for background and additional details about the planned direction of programming.
The notice signals that the U.S. Government expected to make a substantial long-term investment in Uganda's agricultural development: a projected five-year commitment totaling approximately $150 million. The stated intent is for these funds to support programs that align directly with Uganda's Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP). In practical terms, that means the anticipated activities would be designed to fit within Uganda's own national agriculture and development priorities rather than operate as standalone projects.
Programmatically, the announcement highlights a strategic focus on three key agricultural value chains: maize, beans, and coffee. A value-chain focus generally implies attention not only to production on farms, but also to the broader set of activities that influence competitiveness and incomes, such as input supply, extension and farmer training, aggregation and storage, processing, quality standards, market linkages, and potentially access to finance and trade. By naming these commodities, the notice suggests USAID/Uganda was considering investments aimed at boosting productivity, improving market performance, and increasing smallholder participation and earnings in these sectors, consistent with Feed the Future's emphasis on inclusive agricultural growth and food security.
From a grants and procurement standpoint, the posting sits in an "Other" opportunity category and lists "Other" for the funding instrument type, reinforcing that it functions as a planning and transparency communication rather than a formal competitive funding announcement. It lists expected awards as zero and indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which is consistent with an informational posting rather than a solicitation. Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open in principle to many entity types, though any real eligibility rules would only apply once an actual solicitation is released.
For those seeking more information or experiencing difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Geraldine Kyazze, an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +256 413 06001. The key takeaway is that this notice is best read as an early signal of USAID/Uganda's intended Feed the Future investment priorities and scale, with formal opportunities to apply expected to come later through separate, properly issued solicitations.
