TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK
The Technical Assistance (TA) Network provides direct on-the-ground assistance with USDA program access and supplemental resource identification through conducting outreach, assessing program applicability and eligibility, supporting interface with USDA and partners, advising on contract implementation, and growing tailored support networks. To realize goals related to agriculture, land management, and community wellness, the Intertribal Agriculture Council's (IAC) TA Specialists serve Tribes and Tribal producers to enhance government-to-government relations, partnerships, project management, and capacity.
ABOUT
Delivery of program services to federally recognized Tribes and individual Tribal producers, is administered in fourteen regions nationwide. Each regional service area is represented by a Technical Assistance Specialist—resource navigators who assist Tribal producers in navigating barriers to operational success and achieving agricultural goals. IAC tailors its support by region to meet the unique needs of Tribal producers whose endeavors range from traditional and subsistence practices to commercial enterprises.
The Technical Assistance Network was established to increase access to and the use of USDA programs and services by Tribes and Tribal producers in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of Tribal Relations and the Intertribal Agriculture Council.
