Broad Agency Announcement: Asean Agribusiness Development: This is an Addendum to the Harnessing Local Innovations, Expertise, and Partnerships to Solve Development Challenges in Asia under BAA number BAA-OAA-RM-2017 issued on February 1, 2017. The purpose of this Addendum is to request Expressions of Interest (EOI) for research, innovation and collaboration in support of increasing access to finance for entrepreneurs and small- and medium-sized agribusinesses (SMAs) in the ASEAN region. In this activity, USAID seeks to increase the productivity and profitability of such businesses across agricultural value chains in the region by (1) increasing their access to debt finance and (2) developing new agricultural technologies, business process improvements, and improving small trade infrastructure. The goal of this project is to increase access to finance for SMAs operating across the ASEAN countries in which USAID works (including Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Burma, Philippines, and Vietnam). This Addendum is a competitive approach to consider ideas that advance the state-of-the-art, allowing USAID to reach out to potential partners with recognized expertise in relevant areas, and to co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate with partners.
