Agreements with USAID
We are involved with many international agricultural development projects. Most of the work is done through agreements with USAID - Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA).

Additional reimbursable agreements with USAID focus on the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The work is authorized through the Freedom Support Act of 1992 and the Support to Eastern European Democracies Act of 1989.

USAID agreements enlist unique personnel resources, capabilities and experience. We use our partnership to plan, execute and evaluate programs.
