Opportunity Summary:
USAID, through its Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance (DRG), is convening a one-day Workshop on Public Administration Reform (PAR) focused on sharing and discussing best practices in PAR training. The main goal is internal capacity building for USAID: the session is designed to help USAID identify, refine, and narrow down potential training topics that would be most useful for USAID officers working on governance and public sector reform issues. This is an information-gathering event rather than a traditional grant competition, and it is explicitly not being used to collect concepts or ideas for a planned solicitation.
The workshop is scheduled for March 26, 2014, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and will take place at the USAID Learning Center in Crystal City, located at 2231 Crystal Drive, Arlington, VA 22202. A draft agenda is referenced as being attached, with additional details to be provided later. Because space is limited, USAID is requesting that each organization limit attendance to no more than two participants.
Participation is encouraged for organizations with technical expertise and/or project management experience in Public Administration Reform. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may express interest, provided they fit any clarifications contained in the announcement text. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted.
From a funding perspective, this notice is categorized as “Other†rather than a grant or cooperative agreement competition. It lists zero expected awards and shows no funding amounts (estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are all $0), reinforcing that the opportunity is about convening and consultation rather than providing financial assistance.
To attend, interested organizations must RSVP by close of business on March 21, 2014. The RSVP should be sent by email and include the organization name and the names of proposed attendees. The point of contact is Chris Demers at CDemers@usaid.gov, who is also listed as a Democracy Specialist and can be reached by phone at 202-712-0083. The Funding Opportunity Number is 0007200, and the CFDA listing referenced is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The posting date is March 14, 2014, with an administrative closing date shown as April 2, 2014, and an archive date of May 2, 2014, though the key action deadline for participation is the March 21 RSVP.
