Opportunity Information: Apply for 72011524APS00001
The Turkmenistan Livestock Local Works Activity is a USAID funding opportunity focused on strengthening the livestock side of Turkmenistan's agricultural sector, which plays a major role in the national economy but still has room to improve productivity, sustainability, and the ability to cope with climate change. The core idea is to boost agricultural production by increasing both the availability of, and the willingness and ability to adopt, innovative livestock technologies and improved practices. In practical terms, the activity is aimed at helping local actors move newer, more effective solutions into real day-to-day use in livestock production systems, so gains are not just pilot-based but sustained and scalable.
This opportunity is being implemented under USAID's Local Works approach, which is designed to shift more leadership and decision-making to local organizations and stakeholders. Rather than relying primarily on external implementers, Local Works emphasizes locally owned and locally driven development, with the goal of strengthening USAID's ability to empower local actors to identify priorities, test solutions, and carry results forward. For Turkmenistan, this means the activity is expected to be shaped and led by local and regional entities that understand the livestock market, local constraints, and what will realistically be adopted by producers, service providers, and institutions.
The activity also explicitly builds on earlier USAID investments in the sector, particularly the USAID Agriculture Technology activity implemented from 2010 to 2015. That reference signals continuity: lessons learned, networks, and proven interventions from the earlier program are expected to inform what is funded now, while updating the approach to reflect current realities like climate stress, evolving technologies, and the Local Works emphasis on local leadership. The overall direction is to accelerate practical, climate-aware improvements in livestock production through innovations and better practices, while ensuring that local institutions and organizations are positioned to sustain and expand those improvements.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity issued by USAID (Agency: Kazakhstan USAID-Almaty, under USAID/RMCA) with the funding opportunity number 72011524APS00001 and CFDA/Assistance Listing 98.001. The instrument type is listed as "Other," and the activity category is also listed as "Other," which generally suggests applicants should read the detailed APS language closely for the specific structure, expectations, and compliance requirements. USAID anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $1,800,000.
Eligibility is broadly framed around local entities, with potential applicants coming from Turkmenistan and also from nearby or connected regions including the Caucuses, Turkiye, and/or other countries in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. The listing notes that the "EligibleApplicants" category is "Others," and it emphasizes that the full eligibility rules and requirements are laid out in Section 3 of the APS. The original closing date for submissions is October 2, 2024, and the opportunity was created on August 29, 2024.Apply for 72011524APS00001
