The US Department of Agriculture is now accepting applications for the 2016 Food for Progress Program, which helps developing countries and emerging democracies modernise and strengthen their agricultural sectors.
US agricultural commodities donated to recipient countries are sold on the local market and the proceeds are used to support programmes that improve agricultural productivity and expand trade of agricultural products.
Projects normally last from 3-5 years, and organisations eligible to apply include foreign governments, intergovernmental organisations, private voluntary organisations, cooperatives and non-governmental organisations.
