Central African Regional Program

US Agency for International Development Central African Republic, a civilian sub-agency, administers bilateral development assistance and humanitarian aid programs in the Central African Republic through contracts and grants. The agency procures services, conducts studies, and funds capacity-building initiatives in support of USAID's broader development mission in the country.

Contract activity at USAID CAR is modest and episodic. Since 2010, the agency has awarded 29 contracts totaling $16.4 million in combined potential value, with all obligated funds fully drawn. Award cadence over the last five years shows 1 award in 2021, 2 in 2022, 2 in 2023, 3 in 2024, and 1 year-to-date in 2025, indicating irregular procurement patterns with no sustained upward trend. No contracting set-asides are used; all 29 awards carry "No Set-Aside Used" designation. The competitive landscape is highly fragmented. Over the last five years, the top five awardees — Foreign Awardees (Undisclosed) with 3 awards and $1.2 million combined potential value, Domestic Awardees (Undisclosed) with 3 awards and $778 thousand combined potential value, Russell, Diane with 1 award and $222 thousand, and DR. Alastair Mcneilage with 1 award and $188 thousand — hold only 14 percent of recent combined potential value, reflecting a dispersed vendor base across 10 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio history. Awardee names and specific contract scope are not disclosed in the source.

Grant activity shows longer cumulative history but has been dormant for nearly five years. USAID CAR has awarded 5 grants totaling $33.4 million in combined federal dollars obligated since 2007. The most recent grant award closed on January 12, 2022. Earlier activity included 1 award in 2007, then a gap until 2020 (2 awards), followed by 1 in 2021 and 1 in 2022; no grant awards are recorded in 2023, 2024, or 2025. Assistance is structured predominantly as Cooperative Agreements (4 awards, 80 percent) with one Project Grant (20 percent). Adam Smith International LTD is the only grant recipient named in recent windows, holding 1 award and $10.9 million in federal dollars obligated (32 percent of combined federal dollars). The remaining 4 recipients account for $22.5 million and remain undisclosed in the source.
