Women's Economic Empowerment and Leadership Activity

This solicitation seeks proposals to implement a five-year Women's Economic Empowerment and Leadership Activity in Jordan. The US Agency for International Development Jordan seeks to increase women's access to employment and leadership through improving access to the job market, addressing social and gender inequalities, and enhancing the workforce environment. Offerors must demonstrate the technical approach and experience to achieve three objectives: improving women's private sector employment and leadership roles; supporting equitable perceptions, practices and advocacy; and stimulating safe and accessible working conditions. Proposals will be evaluated on technical understanding and best value. The closing date for proposals was amended to July 24, 2020.

This is a total small business set-aside. The primary NAICS and PSC codes relate to international economic development. The anticipated cost-plus-fixed-fee completion contract value is estimated between $25-30 million over five years. The place of performance is Amman, Jordan and activities should coordinate with USAID/Jordan's 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy to improve economic opportunities and leadership roles for Jordanian women.
