Cooperation between USAID, bilateral and multilateral donors, and other aid providers can take a variety of forms, including: “These health care agreements; education; trade and investment; and science and technology reflect our strong and enduring partnership with the Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation and our continued commitment to the economic and social inclusion of the Egyptian people,” said Sherry F. Carlin, Mission Director of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Egypt. To learn more about USAID`s work in Egypt, please read www.usaid.gov/egypt and follow us on Facebook and Twitter at @USAIDEgypt. Cairo – Egypt and the United States signed four bilateral amendments to the $59 million aid deal through the U.S. Agency for International Development on Aug. 4. This assistance will support Egypt`s development priorities in the areas of health, higher education, trade, investment, science and technology. In line with Egypt`s Sustainable Development Strategy Vision 2030, the agreements promote inclusive and business-oriented development. Multi-stakeholder partnerships or initiatives may include donors from bilateral and multilateral organizations, as well as partners from civil society and the private sector. Participating in effective multi-stakeholder partnerships allows us to leverage the comparative advantages – knowledge, expertise, resources and capacities – of all development actors, which is crucial to making developing countries and communities more resilient and self-sufficient. USAID defines the expected results for various activities that can be funded through an A&A award. Organizations interested in working with us submit a proposal in response to a call that describes the program and explains how USAID will make its decision.
In reviewing the technical proposal, the typical evaluation criteria are as follows: Support is financial support from the United States. Government to an organization – through a grant or cooperation agreement – to help carry out a project that benefits the community and advances the goals of the U.S. Foreign Aid Act. The health agreement builds on USAID`s longstanding support for Egypt`s health priorities through the Development Agency`s partnership with the Ministry of Health and Population. Together, the focus will be on improving healthy behaviours, improving the quality of health care and supporting the Egyptian government in designing policies and programmes by supporting research, monitoring and training in key areas such as voluntary family planning. Resolve critical issues affecting U.S. national security Your organization may be contacted by a contract or contract agent (CO/AO) if your proposal or request for award is reviewed. CO/AO is your organization`s most important point of contact for doing business with USAID. Bilateral and multilateral donors such as USAID and other development aid providers share decades of development knowledge and knowledge and provide billions of dollars to promote self-reliance in developing countries. To understand the challenges and resources available to them, USAID missions are developing a Comprehensive Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS) with significant contributions from partner governments, as well as industry, civil society, and development partners.
From cdcs, we design projects and activities to create an acquisition and support (A&A) plan. USAID is dedicated to protecting the integrity of our foreign aid efforts and taxpayers` money entrusted through rewards. For more information, see the Compliance section of our website. Expand existing programs to new areas or beneficiaries USAID conducts market research to explore different ways to achieve our development goals and gather information on local capacity, small business participation, and the feasibility of our expected needs. One way to do this is through a request for information (RFI). For more information, see ADS 302. Calls describe the requirement or program and explain how USAID evaluates submissions. They can take various forms, such as. B such as a Request for Proposals, a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), an Annual Program Statement (APS) or an Agency General Announcement (BAA).
You`ll find them through: Through the Higher Education Agreement, America supports Egypt`s priority to align graduates` skills with market needs. USAID`s work in this new agreement will also help increase the capacity of Egyptian higher education institutions to provide solutions to Egypt`s development challenges. The Trade and Investment Agreement facilitates USAID`s ongoing partnership with the Egyptian government in creating a business environment in which the private sector can grow and become more competitive. This partnership focuses in particular on promoting inclusion and sustainability for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with a focus on small enterprises that specifically provide jobs for youth and women. Coordinating news and public relations to mobilize support If USAID wishes to negotiate with your organization before deciding whether or not to receive an award, your organization should inquire about our policies, which will be part of the contract or granting of support. Build partnership platforms to find solutions that address important development challenges and promote self-reliance. The United States is working with other partners to address global development challenges. When we provide aid to a developing country or respond to a humanitarian crisis or natural disaster, we do so with countries such as the United Kingdom, Japan and Sweden; multilateral organizations such as the World Bank Group, other regional development banks and various United Nations agencies; and partner countries that can still receive assistance, such as India, South Africa and Indonesia. Through coordination and close cooperation with other partners, USAID improves the performance, impact, and sustainability of development assistance, maximizing development results and promoting the path to self-reliance.
Finally, the Science and Technology Agreement maintains the U.S. commitment to joint research between U.S. and Egyptian scientists. USAID`s work in this area addresses development challenges and fosters economic growth, with a focus on applied scientific research and technology commercialization. Acquisition is the purchase of goods and services – through a contract – for the use or benefit of the Agency. In each appeal, USAID specifies the criteria it uses to make an award decision (including technical and cost/price factors) and specifies the relative importance of each factor. If the organization is unable to reach an agreement with the officials mentioned above, contact our organization`s Ombudsman. Once these steps are completed, USAID will award the award to the selected organization.
In most cases, the organization is invited to a conference after the award ceremony to discuss the project and review the terms of the award. In addition, the Organization may contact the Contracts or Contracts Officer (COR/AOR) designated in the award for technical assistance throughout the implementation period. All questions regarding the arbitral award itself should be addressed to the client or the contractual representative.
