*> Project Overview and Role

The Feed the Future Malawi Ag Diversification Activity (AgDiv) contributes to
USAID/Malawi’s Feed the Future goal of sustainably reducing poverty and
malnutrition in eight districts of Central and Southern Malawi. The Activity
fosters inclusive and sustainable growth in Malawi’s agriculture sector,
enhances resilience to climate change, empowers women, and improves the
nutritional status of women and children, while simultaneously increasing the
competitiveness of marketable, nutrient-rich value chains through support for
agricultural enterprises and increased access to markets and finance. AgDiv is
a central component of USAID/Malawi’s integrated, multi-sectoral approach to
improving Malawians’ quality of life.

AgDiv has recently been awarded an additional task order, Self-Reliance
Through Entrepreneurship in Dzaleka (SoRTED) to promote the development of
economic growth at the Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi in order to reduce the
need for humanitarian assistance at the refugee camp.

Through the SoRTED Task Order, USAID seeks to significantly increase incomes
and socioeconomic welfare of participating households in the Dzaleka Refugee
Camp. The Contractor will leverage successful resilience and income-
generation activities, proven under AgDiv implementation, and extend these
activities to the refugee and surrounding population in the Dzaleka region.
