Please note that USAID intends to issue a solicitation for the activity preliminarily entitled “USAID Data-Driven Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) Support Services.” The purpose of the activity is to enable data-driven decision-making and evidence-based collaborating, learning, and adapting within and amongst USAID/Georgia and its partners to improve program management and development impact in Georgia. As development programs continue to adapt to the rapidly-changing and dynamic operating environment in Georgia, USAID/Georgia requires access to up-to-date/on-demand contextual information, systems and processes to coordinate timely programmatic responses, and qualitative and quantitative context data to advance the goal and development objectives of its 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy. As information sources and data points continue to grow, the Mission also requires comprehensive knowledge capture, retention, transfer, and management practices to support evidence-based decision-making and efficiently and effectively facilitate CLA approaches within USAID/Georgia and amongst implementing partners. Additionally, the Mission requires performance improvement services for its strategic partners,
and an approach that fundamentally ensures responsiveness to program participant feedback regarding USAID’s assistance.

USAID currently expects to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) in late April 2024. Please see the USAID Business Forecast for updates.
