    The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Regional Innovation through Locally Led Development Partnerships" to gather insights from organizations interested in enhancing regional programming and innovation across the Eastern and Southern Caribbean (ESC). This RFI aims to identify high-capacity organizations with demonstrable success in multiple CARICOM countries and specific sectors such as climate adaptation, economic growth, and health. The deadline for responses is June 28, 2024. This document clarifies that the RFI is purely informational and does not constitute a proposal or application request. Interested entities must provide a cover page alongside a concise response detailing their capacity to engage in partnerships. Key submission criteria include CARICOM registration, multi-country operational experience, financial capability, and a history of impactful interventions. The RFI emphasizes collaboration and the potential for innovative projects rather than a commitment to future awards. USAID is seeking collaborative partnerships that address various developmental sectors while enhancing local governance and community involvement. Responses should be submitted via specified email contacts, with strict adherence to the outlined requirements.
