Responding to a Global Crisis

The impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict are already being felt on the African continent. Currently, food shortages and supply chain disruptions have caused unprecedented increases in food prices. This rampant inflation, coupled with climate-related shocks and the longer-term socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic, is expected to have devastating effects on food security across the continent. In response to these pressing needs and in line with Prosper Africa goals to drive investment across the African continent, the USAID Africa Trade and Investment program is building private sector-led partnerships to bolster African food resilience.

Food Resilience Annual Program Statement

In support of Prosper Africa, USAID is leveraging private sector partnerships to increase food exports with and within Africa, which is urgently needed amidst the global food security crisis, made worse by Putin’s war in Ukraine. The Call for Africa Food Security & Resilience Partnerships grant opportunity offers partners the chance to work with USAID to rapidly address food insecurity and food systems resilience challenges on the African continent. We’re offering grants of $500,000 - $5 million to scale access to inputs, technologies, and food that directly respond to this crisis. Learn more.
