Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) invites eligible organizations to respond to the Zimbabwe Biogas Open Call for Innovation (O-CFI) Water and Energy for Food: A Grand Challenge for Development (WE4F) Call for Innovations.
This Zimbabwe Biogas Open Call for Innovation (O-CFI) is designed to address barriers to enable the production of more food with efficient and sustainable usage of water and energy along the value chain from farming to end-users, and to impact food security, gender, and poverty reduction in an environmentally sustainable way. The O-CFI describes the purpose of the program and the types of activities that it will fund; indicates the process for preparing and submitting concept notes and proposals; and outlines criteria for their evaluation.
The WE4F Founding Partners have identified priority thematic areas in which innovation is urgently needed as mentioned below. Innovations supported by Water and Energy for Food COULD INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, the themes mentioned below:
o THEME 1: Innovations in food production to reduce water usage
o THEME 2: Efficient use of water resources for food production
o THEME 3: Sustainable use of energy and water on farm
o THEME 4: Energy innovations for food processing & logistics
o THEME 5: Food production with efficient energy use
o THEME 6: Leveraging food/agriculture waste for energy
