Request for Expression of Interest (EOI) - E- Agriculture Services.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations with more than 190 member countries. Since its inception, FAO has worked to improve nutrition, increase agricultural productivity, raise the standard of living in rural populations and contribute to global economic growth. Achieving food security for all is at the heart of FAO's efforts – to make sure people have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active, healthy lives. To achieve its goals, FAO cooperates with thousands of partners worldwide, from farmers’ groups to traders, from non-governmental organizations to other UN agencies, from development banks to agribusiness firms (further and more detailed information on FAO can be found on the internet site: http://www.fao.org). Within the framework of the project UTF/GHA/038/GHA E-Extension Emergency Support to Rural Livelihoods and food systems (ESRF), the Government of Ghana, through the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) and partners have made significant progress in improving the knowledge and capacity of farmers, leading to modest production and productivity improvement in the different subsectors. However, there is significant gaps in the channels of dissemination of knowledge products, their penetration, proper use and final translation into expected on-the-ground results by the farmers and other allied actors. It is in this context that FAO intends to secure the services of interested AGRITECH firms to provide such services. Please refer to the attached expression of interest (EOI) documents for detailed Information.
