- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) on or about September 29, 2009 for an anticipated three-year cost plus fixed-fee award, with two one-year option periods. The award of this effort will be based on an evaluation for USAID/Colombia, Public Policy program. The proposed contract will focus on policy issues in coordination with the GOC that emanate from across Colombia, not just the CSDI regions. These issues could include, but not be limited to, Land Policy, Access to Financial Services, Policies Towards Conflict-affected Populations, Support for Decentralization and Improved Public and Economic Management, Labor Issues, and, Environmental Policy. The Implementer will provide technical assistance, training, invitational travel and pilot projects, as required by the GOC and agreed to by USAID, to help the GOC conceptualize and implement policies. These pilot projects could be mechanisms to assure that policies, will work as planned when more broadly implemented. The implementer will be responsible for developing an effective coordination mechanism to capture inputs and ideas from the field, other nationwide programs (such as human rights, access to justice, and attention to displaced persons), and specialized programs related to environment, implementation of programs for Afro-Colombians and indigenous, and other programs. Research and analysis on key policy issues of importance for use by the sector itself, the GOC and/or the donor community will be important for promoting understanding and developing consensus around technically-sound policy solutions to priority issues. Dissemination of this research will form part of the program activities, to raise awareness and stimulate discussion on policy reform efforts within the GOC and with other stakeholders.
