About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Ukraine has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for a potential upcoming Workforce Development Activity program. The RFI seeks input and feedback from qualified firms regarding a proposed Statement of Work for a new initiative targeting workforce development in Ukraine. Published on December 16, 2024, the RFI invites responses from interested parties by January 10, 2025. Submissions can be made electronically to Maria Rosario Arenas and are welcome in both English and Ukrainian. Local Ukrainian organizations, firms, and US Small Businesses are particularly encouraged to participate in this information-gathering process.

The primary objective of this RFI is to gather insights for a future program aimed at upskilling and reskilling Ukrainian workers during the country's recovery period, with a focus on critical sectors like construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics. Contractors should note that this is not a formal solicitation and responding will not provide any competitive advantage in subsequent procurement processes. The proposed activity seeks to improve employment support for specific target populations, including demobilized veterans, persons with disabilities, internally displaced persons, women, and older workers. Responders are expected to provide feedback on implementation approaches, potential risks, and strategies for private sector engagement. Key program goals include building employee-employer linkages, enhancing the labor market environment, and developing local capacity through trauma-informed and evidence-based interventions. Responses will be held confidentially and used for internal USAID planning purposes.
