Afghanistan Vouchers for Increased Productive Agriculture (AVIPA) Program: USAID/DCHA/OFDA intends to support a program that provides accessible and affordable agricultural inputs to drought-affected subsistence farmers to promote the production of wheat and other staple food crops during the fall/winter 2008 snow-fed and the spring 2009 rain-fed crop seasons. It is envisaged that the program will provide a short-term recovery stimulus to agricultural producers in Afghanistan for the upcoming Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 cereals production seasons to encourage farmers to plant and produce basic food crops. Due to the poor 2007/2008 cereals harvest, many subsistence farmers are suffering hardships and difficulties in meeting immediate household food and income needs and procuring sufficient inputs to plant for the 2008/2009 season. This situation is compounded by the current high cost of food in Afghanistan. Thus, USAID/DCHA/OFDA is soliciting applications from qualified applicants to manage a voucher distribution and redemption program in selected areas of Afghanistan.
