About this opportunity

USAID/Zambia seeks proposals to implement the Leading Organizational Capacity and Localization Development activity to strengthen the capacity of local partners in Zambia. Under a five-year, $10 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the selected contractor must provide customized capacity development support across three components: increasing partners' risk identification and compliance capacity; enhancing resource mobilization and funding diversification; and improving networking, communication, monitoring, and evaluation skills. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical experience, past performance, and cost, with submissions due by December 7, 2022.

There is no set-aside designation. The place of performance is Zambia. The activity aims to support current USAID/Zambia health sector partners and involve additional local partners over time. Government files provide additional solicitation details, questions and answers, evaluation criteria, and a written analysis of potential organizational conflicts of interest related to impaired contractor objectivity.
