Areas of Expertise

Food Security and Agriculture

FSSC II works to provide Feed the Future with world class experts to end hunger and malnutrition drawing on the expertise of those working in the fields of agricultural, trade, investment, development, program design, and policy analysis. These experts together with USAID staff have identified lessons learned and developed the tools and approaches in which Global Food Security Strategy is grounded.

Institutional Support Contracts

FSSC II works hand in hand with USAID/RFS providing world class experts to address food insecurity in the neediest countries, and ultimately achieving the goals set forth by the USG in its Feed the Future initiative and the Global Food Security Act enacted in 2016.
