What the grant funds
The primary goal of F2F is to generate sustainable, broad-based economic growth in the agricultural sector. A secondary goal is to increase the American public’s understanding of international development issues and programs and international understanding of the U.S. and U.S. development programs. F2F objectives are to: 1) increase agricultural sector productivity and profitability; 2) improve conservation and sustainable use of environmental and natural resources; 3) expand sector access to financial services; and 4) strengthen agricultural sector institutions. F2F activities are varied and conform to local country needs and strategic objectives. Activities are inclusive and fully demand-driven, responding to requests and needs of local hosts. F2F country project areas align with or support USAID Mission Strategies and objectives or those of other USG programs.
