## What the grant funds

Through this Addendum to the 2020-2022 Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. APS-OAA-21-00001 (the GDA APS), USAID/Nepal aims to engage more effectively with the private sector to remove constraints to inclusive, broad-based economic growth, and catalyze trade and investment to build a more diversified and vibrant economy. To achieve this, USAID/Nepal seeks to form partnerships with private sector actors to address development challenges through enterprise-based solutions, improve the investment climate, and accelerate innovation. Through this Addendum, USAID/Nepal will partner with businesses that operate within the food system to better align with ongoing efforts to improve agricultural productivity and efficiency. This GDA APS addendum seeks to solicit private sector partners whose businesses are equipped to advance USAID/Nepal’s aims to address climate change by delivering innovations in the following areas: Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA): CSA is an approach that seeks to transform agricultural systems through sustainable agricultural intensification, climate change adaptation, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In Nepal, CSA is an important way to build the resilience of farming communities to climate change. Potential partners may contribute to advancing CSA technologies and services at an appropriate scale for smallholder adaptation, and/or by seeking to create system-wide effects. Improved Food Safety and Reduced Food Loss and Waste (FLW): In Nepal, poor food safety and food quality negatively impact nutrition, constrain opportunities for trade, and accelerate food loss and waste. A lack of food safety and food quality, especially for animal sourced foods and other perishable items, reduces the desirability, consumption, and utilization of nutrient dense foods. Food safety risks also make it difficult for Nepal to meet SPS requirements for agricultural exports, and discourage private sector investment in trade. Improving food safety and food quality will help to reduce FLW by building capacity to systematically manage risks, and by improving the marketability of nutritious agricultural products in domestic and international markets.
