Winrock Team Awarded Farmer-to-Farmer Programs for West Africa and Middle East & North Africa Regions

Winrock International will be supporting the recently awarded, USAID-funded John Ogonowski Farmer-to-Farmer Program for the West Africa (WA) and Middle East & North Africa (MENA) regions, as part of a consortium led by ACDI/VOCA and also supported by Land o’ Lakes and resource partner Lincoln University. This award will open up a number of volunteer opportunities each year under these programs, and assignments are currently under development.

  • FTF MENA will work to increase productivity and profitability in the agriculture sector, focusing on horticulture and dairy/livestock in Egypt and Lebanon, with flexible interventions anticipated for West Bank and Gaza, Jordan, and Yemen.
  • FTF WA will work to raise productivity of horticulture and staple crops, focusing on farmer access to markets or end-use processors. In Nigeria, interventions will focus on aquaculture, apiculture, and staple crops such as cassava and cowpea. Small ruminant livestock and staple crops such as rice, maize, millet, sorghum, and potatoes will be the focus in Mali.
  • The five-year program will utilize the expertise of highly qualified volunteers to support international development, with an emphasis on improving private agricultural operations.
