Limited Scope Grant Agreement

The project aims to identify new technologies that can contribute to improvements in human welfare and sustainable economic growth in Yemen. The project involves the use of short-term technical assistance experts to prepare a report that identifies specific new technologies in sectors such as farm implements, irrigation systems, agricultural processing, potable water, energy, and construction materials. The experts will also provide an analysis of the economic costs and benefits of the identified technologies, indicate which technologies could be commercially viable for the Yemeni private sector to assemble or manufacture locally, and provide information on how to gain access to the technologies. The project will be carried out in conjunction with Sana'a University faculty through the USAID-supported Technology-Transfer and Training Institute (T3). The project will provide follow-up support to the private sector in promoting, procuring, and/or assembling the identified technologies in Yemen.
