USAIDs Expenditure Analysis Technical Assistance to Partners II (EATAP-II)

The U.S. Agency for International Development, Bureau for Global Health, Office of HIV/AIDS (USAID/GH/OHA) is seeking services for the provision of technical assistance (TA) to support the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Expenditure Analysis (EA) Initiative's implementation process, improve expenditure data quality, and strengthen the use of expenditure analysis data for program planning and budgeting.

Expenditure Analysis is the routine financial monitoring of the PEPFAR portfolio. The purpose of EA is to better understand the expenses the U.S. Government (USG) incurs to provide a broad range of HIV/AIDS services. It improves the accountability and oversight of PEPFAR's contribution globally by tracking spending and accomplishments over time, as well as supports the strategic planning process with country government counterparts and other key stakeholders.

USAID is seeking proposals from qualified Contractors to provide the services as described in Section C of the attached RFP. This is a 100% small business set-aside, under NAICS Code: 541690.

In support of the United States President’s Emergency Plans for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) 3.0, the Efficiency Action Agenda’s goal to increase transparency, oversight, and accountability across PEPFAR and its interagency partners, PEPFAR pioneered the use of results-linked financial indicators (expenditures) through its Expenditure Analysis (EA) Initiative, to support financial data for decision making. Use of financial data for decision making has become a cornerstone for PEPFAR. The Implementation of the PEPFAR EA progressed through extensive piloting and phased approaches.
