Request for Applications for Sales Period 1 Competitors for the AgResults Tanzania Climate-Smart Dairy Prize Competition

On behalf of the AgResults Tanzania Climate-Smart Dairy Prize Competition (the “Project”), the Project Manager (PM) Heifer International invites your organization to participate in up to two prize mechanisms (1) an input prize (“Input Prize”) and/or (2) a fodder prize (“Fodder Prize”) through which the Project aims to test Pay-for-Results mechanism approaches to scaling up innovative technologies, tools, and approaches to increase dairy productivity by using improved inputs. Participants of both prize mechanisms (“Competitors”) can apply to one or both prize mechanisms since the input prize and fodder prize are different. The Project will take place in Morogoro, Iringa, Njombe, and Mbeya regions.

For the Input Prize, Heifer International is calling for applications from established entities from the private, parastatal, and non-profit sectors to participate in Sales Period 1. For the Fodder Prize, Heifer International is calling for applications from primary fodder producers from the private, parastatal, and non-profit sectors. Entities interested in participating in both mechanisms are required to apply to each prize mechanism separately.
