This document provides details on a federal solicitation from the US Agency for International Development for the Accountability, Coherence and Engagement Services (ACES) program. The solicitation seeks to provide an "accountability systems" approach to strengthen linkages among formal and informal actors on specific issues through understanding how citizens interact in systems and processes of accountability. The ACES program also aims to support the integration of good governance into other development programs across USAID's portfolio, such as health, education and economic growth, by applying Democracy, Rights and Governance principles and practices to address political-economic obstacles in other sectors and thereby improve overall development outcomes. Responses to solicitation number SOL-OAA-17-000103 were due on June 14, 2018. The solicitation was posted to provide an opportunity for contractors to support the ACES program goals of strengthening accountability and coherence across USAID development programs.
