Global programs / Sharing United States technology to aid in the improvement of nutrition (SUSTAIN)
Project to provide access to U.S. food processing and marketing technology to small and medium-sized food processing companies, government officials, and USAIDs in targeted developing countries. The National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA) will implement the project by conducting assessments, technical consultations, and seminars. First, a team comprised of two volunteer U.S. food industry consultants and a SUSTAIN staff member will visit host countries to assess their food processing systems, evaluate concerns expressed by the USAID Mission and by the public and private sectors, and outline plans for both immediate and long-term action. Twelve assessment missions are targeted. Once the assessment is completed, SUSTAIN will send technical consultants -- again mostly volunteers -- to help solve specialized problems among small- and medium-sized food processing firms and organizations. A total of 27 short-term TA missions are targeted; requests for long-term TA will be handled by other programs. Issues identified in the assessments and consultations will be examined at industry-wide seminars and workshops (21 are targeted), which typically will be co-hosted by in-country

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
