The purpose of this contract is for a contractor to partner with businesses, capital providers, and other intermediaries to mobilize greater private investment into sectors that can increase employment, decrease poverty, and reduce inequality in Southern Africa by achieving the intermediate results outlined in USAID/Southern Africa's Regional Development Cooperation Strategy over a five-year period.

DESCRIPTION


Pre-Solicitation Notice for USAID Southern Africa’s Mobilizing Investment


This pre-solicitation notice/synopsis is published in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2 – Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The information contained herein has been included in USAID’s Mission Business Forecast and is released for wide dissemination to all parties.


The United States Agency for International Development in Southern Africa (USAID/Southern Africa) intends to release a solicitation for a new investment activity.


USAID/Southern Africa anticipates awarding one five-year Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) Completion-type Contract. The total estimated cost of the Contract is estimated to fall within the range of $28 million to $32 million.


USAID/Southern Africa’s Regional Development Cooperation Strategy (RDCS) hypothesizes that an increase in investment, coupled with the expansion of the private sector, will act as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth, which is a prerequisite for the development of countries in the region. Southern African countries are challenged by high levels of poverty, unemployment (specifically youth unemployment), and inequality.


The Offeror will partner with businesses and capital providers (e.g. banks, development finance institutions, institutional investors, private equity funds, and venture capital funds), and other non-bank financial intermediaries, to support the ability of investors and funds to catalyze and mobilize greater volumes of private capital into sectors that can increase employment, decrease poverty, and reduce inequality within the Southern Africa region.

A detailed pre-solicitation notice can be found under attachments.
