How USAID Does
Business
|
USAID is an
independent federal government agency that receives
overall foreign policy guidance from the Secretary of
State. The Agency advances U.S. foreign policy
objectives by supporting long-term and equitable
economic growth in four geographic regions (Sub-Saharan
Africa, Asia and the Near East, Latin America and the
Caribbean, and Europe/Eurasia). USAID's priority sectors
are:
- economic growth, agriculture and trade;
- global health; and,
- democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian
assistance
USAID works in close partnership
with private voluntary organizations, indigenous
organizations, universities, American businesses,
international agencies, other governments, and other
U.S. government agencies. Based on active partnerships
with local public, private and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), USAID field missions identify
needs and establish a strategy for delivering assistance
to the host country. In order to define USAID's
strategic objectives in a given country, consideration
is given to U.S. foreign policy interests, the level of
resources available to the USAID mission (both financial
and human), and the role of other donors in the host
country. The authorities to design, procure and
implement specific activities are largely delegated to
field missions, based on USAID/Washington's approval of
the country strategy. USAID's assistance is delivered
through a variety of agencies, including U.S. private
businesses, U.S. and local non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), host governments and public
international organizations.

PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES:
PROMOTING JUSTICE AND INTEGRITY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION - SOLICITATION SOL-527-12-000010
USAID/Peru
is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to implement the project, Promoting Justice and Integrity in Public Administration. An independent judicial system plays an important role in holding public officials and institutions accountable, fighting corruption within public administration, and ensuring that nobody, regardless of rank or position, is above the rule of law. The Project in collaboration with the Peruvian Judiciary, the Special Commission on the Implementation of the Criminal Procedure Code ("CPC") (Special Commission), the Peruvian Public Ministry, and other key judicial actors, will support the sustainable development of tools, systems, and skills so that the Peruvian judicial system can effectively fulfill that role. The Project will build the capacity of judicial actors and institutions to investigate, manage, and resolve corruption cases under the CPC. It will also strengthen the judicial system's capacity to address corruption from the "bottom up" by working with civil society organizations to educate the public and monitor the system.
