- Description
- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) intends to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) on or about the third quarter of FY 2010 (April - June) for an anticipated five-year cost plus fixed-fee award. The award of this effort will be based on an evaluation for a USAID/Colombia Consolidation and Enhanced Livelihoods Initiative Central Region (CELI-Central). The proposed contract will assist the Government of Colombia (GOC) to establish of state presence in priority municipalities located in La Macarena (Meta), Southern Tolima, Valle de Cauca, Buenaventura and Southern Chocó under the National Consolidation Plan (PNC). Once the GOC has guaranteed a minimum level of permanent security, the CELI contractor will utilize an integrated approach for consolidating peace, security and development gains which will require a robust effort to create thousands of licit economic opportunities, to strengthen and link public and private organizations to promote citizen participation, and to support governance strengthening at the municipal and departmental levels to ensure good governance and improve local service delivery. In transition zones where the GOC has only recently established minimum security, the contractor will emphasize immediate, short-term activities to meet urgent economic and social needs with the goal of demonstrating presence of the state and to help the target areas recover quickly from the effects of the conflict and eradication. Small, quick-impact projects will help to create confidence in the GOC, provide the opportunity to build relations between communities and local government, and respond to local dynamics and urgent needs. In areas where security is better established, the contractor will support longer-term interventions in coordination with the government, private sector and civil society with a particular emphasis on accompaniment and the provision of technical assistance to permanently consolidate state presence. The CELI-Central contractor will also coordinate closely with the USAID public policy program and will implement pilot activities in collaboration with the public policy implementer to address policy constraints to consolidation of state presence.
