Peru USAID-Lima
The Peru USAID-Lima is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a new activity called "Local Organizations Capacity Strengthening Platform". This activity aims to provide a demand-driven mechanism to help USAID empower local organizations in Peru to effectively mobilize development funding and manage it to global standards, while successfully delivering strong development outcomes. The RFI is open to all organizations and its purposes include gathering ideas and capability statements from interested entities capable of performing the work described in the RFI. USAID is conducting market research to collect information from local and foreign organizations with knowledge and experience in capacity building of different types of organizations focused on organizational strengthening. The goal is to design an activity that empowers both current and prospective partners to effectively mobilize development funding and manage it to global standards, while successfully delivering strong development outcomes. If local capacities are available, USAID might choose to restrict the solicitation to local organizations. This is not a request for applications or proposals, but rather an opportunity for USAID/Peru to understand the critical factors involved in carrying out local capacity strengthening of local entities to improve the performance of a local system to produce locally valued and sustainable development outcomes.
