Description

The U.S. Agency for International Developmentäó»s (USAID) Bureau for Food Security administers the Farmer-Farmer (F2F) program through implementing partners under 5-year cooperative agreements. The F2F program leverages U.S. agricultural expertise by sending volunteers on short-term assignments to provide technical assistance to farmers, farm groups, and agribusinesses in developing and middle-income countries. During fiscal years 2009 through 2013, F2F funded about 2,984 volunteer assignments and obligated an average of $11.5 million annually. This report examined (1) how USAID administers the program; (2) how partners implement volunteer assignments and screen volunteers; and (3) the extent to which USAID uses monitoring and evaluation to manage the program. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
