Engility wins $24.6 Million Award to Support USAID Efforts to Promote Private Sector Investments in Rwanda Agriculture

CHANTILLY, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Engility Holdings, Inc. EGL today announced it has been awarded a $24.6 million contract to provide technical advisory services to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Rwandan government as the two work together to strengthen the agricultural sector in that country.

Specifically, Engility advisers will support Rwandan government agencies' efforts to increase smallholder farmer incomes by promoting private sector investments from international and domestic sources. USAID defines a smallholder farmer in Rwanda as an individual who generally owns about three-quarters of a hectare, or less than two acres. The Rwandan government's vision is to transform rural agriculture to a market oriented, competitive and high-value sector, with the ultimate goal of improving local food security and increasing incomes of smallholder producers.

“Engility has a strong track record of engaging the private sector in Africa to pursue innovative approaches that lead to increased investment, incomes and food security within rural communities and we appreciate USAID's confidence in our work,” said Engility President and CEO Tony Smeraglinolo. “Our team of professionals in Rwanda looks forward to working with USAID, Rwandan government agencies and smallholder producers to strengthen the agricultural economy there.”

Engility has more than 20 years of experience in Rwanda, supporting work to improve natural resource management, ecotourism through improved biodiversity conservation, as well as rural roads development to support the U.S. Government's Feed the Future initiative.

The contract represents new work and is a five-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee award.
