To: All Interested Firms


Subject: Amendment # 3


Ref.: Request for Proposal #: SOL-663-14-000015



The purpose of this amendment is to provide clarification on the below issues related to the referenced RFP.


1. In Section C of the RFP under C.3 it is mentioned that "The contractor will build the capabilities of USAID supported Ethiopian NGOs..." However, USAID would like to make it clear that the contractor will provide the capacity building service or technical assistance to NGOs, private companies, and local government entities that have an award and are in direct partnership with USAID. Technically, an NGO covers both charities/societies and private companies and local government entities could be universities and other public service providers owned by the host government.


2. For any entity to operate in Ethiopia, the local legal registration is required. Therefore, all potential offerors should either have registration or has the capacity to obtain registration if successful.


3. The PMP and the M&E plan are to mean one and same thing. So the M&E plan should be submitted as part of the technical proposal.


4. The number of organizations in the third one year option is 40 and the revised RFP in amendment #2 reflected 35 erroneously.



Sincerely,


/ss/
