The Partnership for Economic Growth (PEG), a joint activity of the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the
Government of Indonesia (GOI), is seeking applications for Linkage
Grants from Indonesian and U.S. organizations willing to form
long-lasting partnerships to work on significant economic management
and policy issues. On or about June 7, 1999, a Request for Applications
(RFA FY 99) will be issued by the PEG Project in Indonesia. All
applications should be submitted to the Grants Manager at the date
stated in the RFA. Applications for Linkage Grants will be solicited
competitively and evaluated against the criteria specified in the RFA.
The PEG Project may award up to six (6) grants, in amounts between
$250,000 and $750,000 each, for periods of no less than one (1) year
and no more than two (2) years. Recipients are expected to contribute
non-USAID resources to a cost sharing arrangement. PEG will be
especially interested in applications which focus on issues related to
the primary results of the strategic agreement for addressing the
current economic crisis in Indonesia, recovery of the economic and
financial systems. A secondary and important focus is to continue to
address the objectives for economic growth agreed to between USAID and
the GOI, namely: (1) improved policies and practices to promote
increased openness to international trade and investment; and (2)
improved policies and practices to promote strengthened domestic
economic competition. Since the objective of the PEG Project is to
promote the sustained exchange of intellectual capital between the two
countries on significant economic issues, all applications must
involve joint work between at least one U.S. and one Indonesian
organization. Partnerships are expected to involve the following sorts
of entities: government agencies or departments, universities, private
research organizations or think tanks, professional associations, other
Non Governmental and Private Voluntary Organizations (NGOs, PVOs) and
trade associations. Examples of the types of focus areas in which PEG
could support grant applications are as follows: The Role of Government
in a Market Economy, Financial and Corporate Restructuring,
International Trade, Decentralization and Small and Medium Enterprises.
Please note that these examples are purely illustrative. (B) It is
anticipated that the PEG RFA FY99 will be available to download from
the Project web site on or about June 7. The Worldwide Web address is
