The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Economic Growth, Education and Environment (E3)

Office of Local Sustainability Broad Agency Announcement for Locally Led Development Innovation

Notice to applicants - June 11, 2020

One of the next steps in USAID/Azerbaijan’s process is to invite groups selected through a competitive process, to join a two-day co-creation workshop in Baku, Azerbaijan. At this event, USAID, our partners from the Government of Azerbaijan and the private sector, as well as those groups chosen from the competitive process will gather to collaboratively develop activities designed to achieve the objectives articulated in this Addendum.

In light of the global COVID-19 pandemic, USAID/Azerbaijan would like to notify its partners and interested parties that we are experiencing delays in planning the in-person workshop. Thus, the workshop is postponed until the situation with the pandemic improves. The review of the expressions of interest is ongoing. Those who submitted an expression of interest will receive notification of the status of their submission in the coming weeks.

We would like to assure you that this initiative is one of the USAID/Azerbaijan’s priorities and we will resume the process when it is safe for all participants.

Regards, /s/
