- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Egypt intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to implement the program described below. The new Technical Assistance for Policy Reform II (TAPR-II) program is designed to support financial sector modernization, trade capacity building, and commercial law development, including human resource requirements. The goal of the TAPR II is to respond to Egypt's requests for assistance to re-instate a market- and private-sector oriented economic model across a wide range of productive sectors and GOE support institutions. TAPR-II's success in contributing to this goal will be judged by structural analysis of various sectors and institutions that are important for investment, job creation, and poverty reduction. The goals and purpose of the TAPR-II will be achieved through seven components: Component A: Trade Environment including technical assistance activities in customs, trade facilitation, trade policy, and intellectual property rights. Component B: Financial Service Modernization including technical assistance activities in bank privatization, banking supervision, and bank restructuring. Component C: Macroeconomic Stability including technical assistance activities related to expenditure management, and monetary policy. Component D: Enabling Policy Environment including technical assistance related to commercial law and industrial promotion policy. Component E: Facilitating Services for Private Sector including technical assistance activities related to investment policies, legalization and formalization. Component F: Human Resources including technical assistance activities related to legal education, business education, and economics education. Component G: Program Support including technical assistance activities related to results reporting, reporting of training, assessments, performance verification for conditioned assistance programs, preparation and dissemination of documents and publications, and public awareness. This RFP pertains specifically to all seven components of the TAPR-II listed above. One direct contract will be awarded for implementation of these seven components. Implementation under the contract will occur over four years. The NAICS Code for this procurement is 541990. The solicitation will be posted on the FEDBIZOPPS web page (www.fedbizopps.gov) not less than fifteen (15) days after this notice is issued.
