Opportunity Summary:
The USAID/Bangladesh DRAFT FtF Livestock Project (Funding Opportunity Number 388-14-00099) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity under USAID foreign assistance programming, focused on food and nutrition outcomes in Bangladesh. The opportunity is framed around the goal of improving the utilization of livestock products by rural households, which generally points to increasing the availability, access, and effective household use of animal-source foods such as milk, eggs, and meat. As a Feed the Future (FtF) aligned activity, the emphasis is typically on reducing poverty and improving nutrition through agriculture-led growth, with livestock positioned as a practical pathway for rural families to improve diet quality, household income, and resilience.
This announcement was posted and created on December 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 7, 2014, and an archive date of January 31, 2014. USAID anticipated making one award, suggesting the project was designed as a single, coordinated implementation effort rather than multiple smaller grants. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which can indicate an assistance mechanism outside the standard cooperative agreement/grant labels, but it remains within the assistance category as reflected by the CFDA listing. The activity category is explicitly identified as Food and Nutrition, reinforcing that the project is likely meant to produce measurable improvements in household-level nutrition and consumption outcomes rather than being purely a production or commercial livestock expansion effort.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity (for example, nonprofits, for-profits, universities, and other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers to entry for applicants that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal resources. The CFDA number provided is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, which is a common umbrella listing for USAID-funded overseas development activities.
The administering agency is USAID in Dhaka, Bangladesh (Agency Name: Bangladesh USAID Dhaka). The brief description, "Improved Utilization of Livestock Products by Rural Households," indicates a focus not only on producing more livestock products but also on ensuring rural households can actually use them effectively. In practice, projects with this type of objective often include a mix of interventions such as improving household-level nutrition knowledge and behavior related to animal-source foods, strengthening value chains so products are safer and more consistently available, reducing post-harvest losses, improving food safety and handling, and supporting smallholder producers (often including women) to increase productivity and market participation. While the summary text here does not list specific technical components, the opportunity title and activity category make it clear that nutrition outcomes were central to the intended results.
