**The Opportunity**
Abt Associates is the implementer of the USAID-funded Feed the Future Egypt Rural Agribusiness Strengthening (ERAS) Project, based in Egypt. The project employs a market-driven, systems-strengthening approach to improve the competitiveness of horticulture producers and related downstream businesses and food processors by developing their abilities to respond to domestic and international buyer demand. ERAS will address the following intermediate results: 1) Strengthen sustainable domestic and international market linkages; 2) Improve post-harvest handling and storage; 3) Increase productivity of small farmers and food processors; and 4) Improve nutritional status of women and children.
The project has its headquarters office in Dokki, Giza with three field offices in Minya, Luxor and Gharbia. The ERAS team includes several US and local subcontractors, and the project will manage $8 million in grants, leveraging resources to address chronic obstacles in the development of Egypt’s horticulture industry.
