The focus of this BAA is to identify innovative thinking, best practices and promising programs that will provide cost effective and practical options to respond to climate and weather related impacts on small holder farmer-based food and agriculture systems in low income countries.
In many cases, such options and practices may provide a "double or triple win" by also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving agriculture income and productivity. This BAA serves to inform the public of the opportunity for possible funding for innovations and approaches to Climate Smart Agriculture as it impacts small holder farmers and food and agricultural systems in low income countries.
Any opportunities for funding and partnering will be issued as Addenda to this BAA. The terms of the BAA apply to each Addendum. Individual addenda may have specific requirements for evaluation criteria and administrative information, such as the requirements for expressions of interest, concept papers, and response deadlines.
Further information can be found in the full BAA document attached. In **Addendum Number 0001** to the Climate Smart Agriculture BAA, USAID seeks knowledge and solutions to the current problem of limited levels of private sector engagement and investment in Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices and technologies.
The main focus of this work is to help smallholder-based food and agriculture systems in low-income countries adapt to climate and weather change impacts. The countries supported by the USG Feed the Future Initiative are the primary geographic focus. Collaboration opportunities that align with USAID's focus value chains in the Feed the Future countries are particularly encouraged.
More information on the Feed the Future Initiative and FTF focus and aligned countries can be found at www. feedthefuture. org.
