- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to implement USAID/South Africa?s Local Governance Program. The contract to be awarded under this RFP will serve primarily as the implementing instrument of the Local Governance Support Program (LGSP). The Contractor will also from time to time solicit, award and manage sub-contracts and grants and organize workshops, seminars, study tours and partner consultations in support of the Criminal Justice Support Program (CJSP) and the Civil Society Support Program (CSSP). Under the strategic objective to advance the consolidation of South Africa?s democracy, in order to advance effective and democratic local governance, the Contractor shall: 1. Improve the performance of the selected local municipalities in a. Managing their operations, b. Designing and implementing local economic development programs, and c. Delivering services to their historically disadvantaged communities. 2. Increase the revenue streams of the same municipalities, thus increasing the funds available to implement their local economic development (LED) and service delivery programs. The Contractor shall develop and implement a program that focuses on improving the performance of selected municipalities in designing and implementing LED programs, delivering services to historically disadvantaged communities, and raising local revenue. USAID/South Africa anticipates awarding one performance based completion type contract for a three year period using full and open competition. The government estimate is $4m with an optional three year period for an additional amount of $4m. The preferred method of distribution of Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) information is via the Government-wide point of entry (GPE). This solicitation can be viewed and downloaded using http://fbo.gov. The solicitation, once issued can be downloaded from the GPE.
