The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) links U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security.
USDA/FAS's McGovern-Dole grant program prioritizes projects in selected countries to improve food security, education, and nutrition, specifically targeting low-income, food-deficit countries globally. The outlined priority countries for this call include Angola, Bangladesh, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Laos, Malawi, and Rwanda, with particular emphasis on Angola and El Salvador, where active McGovern-Dole projects are not currently in place. While applications for non-priority countries will be considered, preference is given to projects within the specified nations. Applicants should consult country-specific guidelines for detailed information on program emphasis and priorities.
