| 5.- We
are a non-profit organization and would like to
know how we can get funding for our programs from
USAID in Peru? |
In partnerships
with local public, private and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs)-and taking into consideration
U.S. foreign policy interests, the level of
available resources, and the role of other donors,
USAID/Peru has established a strategy to address
Peru's priority needs over a five-year period.
Within the parameters of this 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 government agencies, and public international
organizations. The selection of specific
contractors and grantees is usually based on
competitive processes. Contracting actions are
initiated through a request for proposals; grants
and cooperative agreements are initiated through
requests for applications or an annual program
statement. Requests for proposals and applications
are posted at:
FedBizOpps
While
there is a strong preference to make awards based
on competition, USAID/Peru may consider funding
unsolicited proposals for unique and innovative
initiatives. |
