Attachment 4 Budget template CPFF.xls

This budget template outlines costs for a federal cooperative agreement with USAID in Georgia. It includes line items for personnel, fringe benefits, travel, supplies, equipment, contracts, allowances, and other direct costs over two years. Rates and units are left blank, suggesting this is a template to be filled in by applicants. Reimbursable costs include daily rates for home office staff, expatriates, and cooperating country nationals involved in program implementation. Budget categories cover fringe benefits, travel for short-term technical assistance, expatriate relocation and in-country travel, supplies, equipment, contracts, allowances, and other direct costs for offices, activities, and consultants. The template also includes sections for indirect charges and fixed fee.

The federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from USAID to develop industry-relevant skills training in Georgia. The three-year program will pilot private sector engagement initiatives, create or improve employer-demanded training programs, and expand access to existing high-quality training in rural areas and for priority populations. The purpose is to equip Georgians with in-demand skills and link training to employment opportunities in high-growth sectors to increase economic competitiveness.
