Current Program
In September 2008, USAID signed cooperative agreements with three institutions for the provision of FTF Program volunteer services for international agricultural development. From 2008 to 2013, the program will operate in approximately 19 core countries, providing nearly 3,000 volunteer technical assistance assignments averaging three and a half weeks duration. The four Farmer to Farmer Program implementing organizations will work closely with overseas USAID missions and partner organizations, supporting a variety of development programs aimed at reducing poverty and stimulating sustainable and broad-based economic growth.
