- Description
- The U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID) in Kampala, Uganda has issued a Draft Request for Proposals (RFP) to implement aspects of Strategic Objective 8, Human Capacity Improved. This is one of three strategic objectives which compose the USAID/Uganda Integrated Strategic Plan (ISP) for the years 2002-2007. The ISP and annexes may be downloaded in three files from http://www.dec.org/pdf_docs/PDABT976.pdf , http://www.dec.org/pdf_docs/PDABT977.pdf , and http://ww.dec.org/pdf_docs/PDABT978.pdf . A thorough understanding of the USAID/Uganda ISP and the Government of Uganda's Poverty Eradication Action Plan (http://www.finance.go.ug/documents.html) should prove very useful to offerors in preparing responsive proposals, once the RFP is issued. The solicitation, when issued, will seek proposals to implement USAID/Ugandas Strengthening Support Systems activity, which will focus on increasing the capacity of national level support systems to sustain social sector service delivery in an improved enabling environment. The activity will help to sustain and reinforce the necessary conditions for improved health, longer and more productive life, greater access to employment opportunities, and increased productivity by addressing the key problems of: high fertility, morbidity and mortality, rapid population growth, illiteracy, poor educational performance, and declining educational quality. The activity will be implemented through a cost reimbursement contract for a period of five years. The Draft RFP will be posted through March 15, 2002. The actual solicitation is anticipated to be issued on or about April 1, 2002. To request a copy of the Draft RFP that was posted on March 6, 2002, please send an E-mail request to: rrutter@usaid.gov, or request a copy by mail by faxing your request to the Contracting Officer at 256 41 258981/233417. We also request that you include a current telephone number and/or a fax number or an e-mail address where you can be contacted. The preferred method of distribution of USAID Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) information is via the Internet. (By exception, USAID can provide the solicitation on a 3.5 floppy disk (Microsoft 97 format), via e-mail, or in hard copy). You must confirm in writing to the contact person noted below that, you have received the solicitation (when posted) through the Internet. As the recipient of the solicitation document, you are responsible for ensuring that you have received it from INTERNET in its entirety. USAID bears no responsibility for data errors resulting from transmission or conversion processes. Further, be aware that amendments to solicitations are occasionally issued and will be posted on the same Internet site from which you download the solicitation at FBO. Generally, the Contracting Officer will issue amendments to all those who have sent in the written confirmation of solicitation receipt. However, USAID does not guarantee that an amendment will be issued to you directly based upon written confirmation that you have downloaded the solicitation from the Internet.
