USDA INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
UPDATE - Request for Proposals
24 April 2000 Announcement # IP-O-16
*****************************************************************
The Association Liaison Office for University Cooperation in
Development (ALO) is pleased to announce a 2000 Special Request for
Proposals: Human Resource Development in the Rwandan Agriculture Sector.
USAID/Rwanda seeks to support a linkage between a U.S. university or
universities and the Universitie Nationale du Rwanda (UNR) for the purpose
of addressing its objective of "improved national human resource capacity in
the agricultural sector, including trained professionals in field-driven,
participatory research and outreach to farmers."
ALO will conduct a peer-reviewed competition to award one
cooperative subagreement to a lead U.S. higher education institution to
implement a cooperative, mutually-beneficial partnership between one or more
higher education institutions in the U.S. and UNR. The subagreement will
cover a two-year period from on or about September 30, 2000 to September 30,
2002. It is expected that the subagreement may be extended one year, to
September 30, 2003. Pending the expected extension of ALO's Cooperative
Agreement with USAID and pending the expected obligation of USAID funds for
FY2000 and FY2001, the amount of the award will be up to $2,900,000. The
initial award obligation, for Year One activities, will be $650,000.
The RFP is posted at http://www.aascu.org/alo/IP/rwanda.pdf
Please note that the deadline for receipt of proposals at ALO is
June 20, 2000 at 5:00 p.m. EST. U.S. higher education institutions intending
to submit a proposal should notify ALO of this no later than May 20 by
providing contact name, title, address, e-mail, and telephone.
