USAID is seeking concept papers first and then full applications from prospective partners to implement activities that create opportunities for women’s leadership and gender equality in addressing food security needs. These activities will contribute to the body of knowledge and effective tools for comprehensive integration of gender issues throughout USAID development, humanitarian and transition work. The geographic focus under consideration is USAID’s geographic definitions of Africa and Asia & the Near East (ANE), with special focus on the countries prioritized under the Global Hunger and Food Security (Feed the Future) Initiative. The deadline for submission of concept papers is July 21, 2010.
