Mansa Dioula Mousso

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement or grant from qualified entities to implement the program entitled “Mansa Dioula Mousso” in Guinea. Subject to funding availability, USAID/Guinea intends to provide $1.35M in total USAID funding over a three-year (3) period.

The Mansa Dioula Mousso Activity is to focus on advancing women’s economic security in the Siguiri prefecture of Guinea through interventions such as: 1) improving business and planning skills for women produce merchants; 2) improving access to finance and markets; 3) improving coordination and communication between project’s female beneficiaries and other actors of the market system and 4) strengthening of critical infrastructure and transportation; hence, streamlining their operations and helping women produce merchants (Dioula Mousso) evolve from mere produce resellers to organized and professional food security logistics experts.
