USAID Forward Website
WASHINGTON, DC – The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has embarked on an ambitious reform effort, USAID FORWARD, to change the way the Agency does business—with new partnerships, an emphasis on innovation and a relentless focus on results. It gives USAID the opportunity to transform its agency and unleash its full potential to achieve high-impact development.
Announced by USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID FORWARD is critical to achieving President Obama’s vision of the United States as the global leader in international development. This initiative is an early outcome of the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR) led by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and will help modernize and strengthen USAID so that it can meet the most pressing development challenges and work more efficiently towards its ultimate goal—creating the conditions where its work is no longer needed.

USAID Awards New Health Project in Western Kenya
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 8, 2010
Press Office: 202-712-4320
Public Information: 202-712-4810
www.usaid.gov
Nairobi, Kenya — To improve the health of Kenyans in the western region of the country, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded a comprehensive health service delivery project to the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH). The project, APHIAplus, builds upon USAID/Kenya's country-wide health service support project known as the AIDS, Population and Health Integrated Assistance II (APHIA II). PATH and its partners will implement the APHIAplus project in Western and Nyanza Provinces from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015 and work closely with the Government of Kenya and a wide variety of non-government agencies.
“Studies have shown us that diseases such as HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis are causing greater suffering and death in western Kenya than any other part of the country,” said Erna Kerst, the USAID/Kenya Mission Director. “This is why USAID is pleased to renew its commitment to this region through the APHIAplus project.” She further noted that in addition to addressing specific diseases, the APHIAplus project would work on strengthening the region's health care system by rehabilitating health facilities, training staff, and supporting supply and communication networks. Like APHIA II, APHIAplus will strengthen the country's ability to improve the lives of mothers, children and their families in the areas of HIV/AIDS, malaria, family planning, reproductive health, and tuberculosis with quality health services.
PATH's five-year award is valued at US$143 million and is one of several region-specific health projects that USAID/Kenya plans to award in the near future. The APHIAplus program is one part of USAID/Kenya's comprehensive health strategy that is valued at US$1.5 billion over five years. It is one of USAID's largest health investments and is an important part of President Barack Obama's Global Health Initiative – a 6-year, $63 billion support to international health.
USAID has been working in Kenya for more than 50 years. Today, USAID/Kenya is working with the Government of Kenya, civil society groups and the private sector to advance democracy and the rule of law, to improve health and education services, and to modernize and grow the economy so that Kenya's wealth is shared by more.

How can more information lead to transparency of International Development Aid?
For information to result in greater transparency and aid effectiveness it needs to be accessible and understandable. The USG needs to organize their information on AID spending into one easy to use site that comiles all spending by focus area.
Organizations Such as Aid Transparency are trying to encourage this.
Link to Website
Websites such as USA Spending and Fed Spending are steps in the right direction, but more work can be done to organize all aid activity by country and focus area as well as link in outcome data/effectiveness metrics to see if the money we are spending is actually making an impact in areas such as health outcomes and poverty.

Agencies are getting too attached to incumbent contractors, watchdog finds
Agencies are getting too attached to incumbent contractors, watchdog findsBy Robert Brodsky rbrodsky@govexec.com August 26, 2010
Federal agencies are failing to maximize opportunities to make contracts competitive, often because of poor management or because officials have grown comfortable with incumbent contractors, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
The watchdog reviewed trends in noncompetitive contracts during the past several years and discovered a number of questionable business practices by contracting officials and program managers. GAO found 44 percent of all federal contracts in fiscal 2009 either were not placed up for competition or attracted only one bid.
The report (GAO-10-833), which the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee requested, highlighted contracts that appeared to be written with such narrowly defined requirements that only one company could reasonably compete. In other instances, program offices pressed for follow-on contracts to be awarded without competition to the existing company because it would be more expeditious since the offices already had formed a relationship with the firm.

GHI activities are being implemented in the more than 80 countries where U.S. government global health dollars are already at work. Under GHI, the U.S. government will coordinate with partner country governments to ensure that investments align with national priorities and build capacity. Eight countries have been selected as the first set of "GHI Plus" countries. They are: Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nepal, and Rwanda. These countries will receive additional technical and management resources to quickly implement GHI's approach, including integrated programs and investments across the spectrum of infectious diseases, maternal and child health, family planning, and health systems activities. GHI Plus countries will provide enhanced opportunities to build upon existing public health programs; improve program performance; and work in close collaboration with partner governments, across U.S. government agencies, and with global partners.

USAID Kenya AphiaPlus Released
Here is a link to the full solicitation.
The purpose of this PD is to design and implement a health service delivery program that would respond to the Results as outlined in the USAID/Kenya Implementation Framework (2010-2015), whose strategic goal is “health outcomes and impact through sustainable country-led programs and partnerships.” USAID/Kenya’s new framework aims to balance ensuring health impact with strengthening the overall health system. This PD represents the service delivery component of the Implementation Framework, which builds on the successful interventions of the APHIA II program. Projects under this PD will provide critical service delivery services anchored at the district level in coordination with all national level technical assistance components envisioned in the Implementation Framework.
USAID/Kenya desires to ensure that its support to Kenyan service delivery programs is tailored to the specific needs and characteristics of distinct areas within the country. For this reason, USAID/Kenya foresees utilizing implementing agencies that will provide focused support within sub-national regions (hereafter referred to as “zones”), with approaches within each zone tailored to individual districts within provinces. The recipient will improve services at the provincial, district, facility and community levels. Because well-performing health systems are essential to provide quality health services, the recipient will be expected to collaborate and coordinate closely with implementing partners focusing on the systems strengthening components of the Implementation Framework.

USAID Contracting Reforms Slated for June, Shah Tells Congress
By Josh Miller on 21 April 2010
Rajiv Shah on Tuesday vowed to push ahead with controversial changes to the U.S. Agency for International Development’s procurement strategy following a review of the agency’s largest contracts. The goal is to strengthen in-house capacity and partnerships with actors in the field, the USAID administrator told Congress.
“I look and fully understand the need for change,” Shah told April 20 the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs. “The examples are everywhere.”
Leahy also prodded Shah on the timeline for the completion of the Global Acquisition and Assistance System, a software package USAID hopes will track more than $11.5 billion in acquisition and assistance transactions each year, according to a document on the agency’s website. The USAID administrator said GLAAS is scheduled for completion in June 2011.

Ministerial Leadership Initiative (MLI),
http://www.ministerial-leadership.org/
The Ministerial Leadership Initiative (MLI), a four-year program of Realizing Rights, is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. MLI seeks to strengthen the leadership capacity of ministries of health in Ethiopia, Mali, Nepal, Senegal, and Sierra Leone to advance policy in three interrelated areas: health financing for equity, donor harmonization in health, and reproductive health. Key to MLI’s approach is the belief that stronger political leadership will improve health systems and ensure respect for the right to the highest attainable standard of health, particularly for the most vulnerable populations.

Defense contractors have about 75 days to make their bids on a $35 billion dollar contract for Air Force refueling tankers. The Pentagon's solicitation on Wednesday calls for 179 planes, with the option for more. It's the third salvo in the Defense Department's seven-year effort to replace its Eisenhower-era fleet. So what sets this one apart? They continue their coverage of the Defense Department with defense analyst Jim McAleese, a principal at McAleese & Associates.

The Pentagon's solicitation on Wednesday calls for 179 planes, with the option for more. It's the third salvo in the Defense Department's seven-year effort to replace its Eisenhower-era fleet. So what sets this one apart? They continue their coverage of the Defense Department with defense analyst Jim McAleese, a principal at McAleese & Associates.

With Secretary Hillary Clinton scheduled to testify about the State Department’s fiscal year 2011 budget before four Congressional committees this week, the Kaiser Family Foundation’s Global Health Gateway provides key information, data and news on the Global Health Initiative, the Administration’s comprehensive global health strategy originally announced last year. Relevant resources from the Kaiser gateway include:
A policy brief and chartpack that provides a detailed breakdown of the U.S. budget for the global health programs in the Administration’s Global Health Initiative as well as historical spending on relevant global health programs that predate the initiative. In addition, the Foundation is regularly updating its fiscal year 2011 budget tracker to reflect the status of key global health programs as the proposal moves through Congress.
Kaiser’s original policy research on U.S. global health policy issues, including the first comprehensive look at the structure and funding of the U.S. government agencies involved in the nation’s global health response.
Polling examining the American public’s views and knowledge on the U.S. involvement in global health issues and causes.
Summaries of news coverage related to the administration’s Global Health Initiative from the Kaiser Daily Global Health Policy Report.
Archived videos and transcripts of relevant events, including Ezekiel Emanuel of the White House Office of Management and Budget discussing the President’s global health budget proposal and a briefing on the global health outcomes of the G-8 Summit featuring Gayle E. Smith of the National Security Council.
The latest on administration announcements related to the Global Health Initiative from Kaiser’s Global Health Policy Tracker, a single reference point for key legislation, policies and programs, government reports and other resources. Downloadable slides with essential data on U.S. support of global health efforts. Country-specific data about U.S. support for global health issues (such as PEPFAR funding) is available through the Global Health Facts database.

Ambassador Goosby Discusses Budget, Partnership Frameworks, and New Role for AIDS Activists
Science Speaks posted and interview with Eric Goosby.
Thoughts, news and analysis from the staff of the Infectious Diseases Center for Global Health Policy on the latest developments in tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
Dr. Eric Goosby, the US global AIDS ambassador, spoke with John Donnelly about a number of issues surrounding PEPFAR and the Obama administration’s new Global Health Initiative, including how the administration hopes to ramp up treatment and prevention efforts with small increases in overall funding and how PEPFAR is constantly responding to emergencies in the field – including the move in December to give the South African government $120 million after the country had an unexpected funding shortfall in nine provinces.

New RFA for Zimbabwe $100,000,000
I suppose by investing in the private sector so much the US has completely lost faith in the Zimbabwe government to implement the health services.

Instructions on How to Find USAID max Salaries
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management publishes its revised ES-6 level compensation every year. For the new ES-6 maximum, please go to http://www.opm.gov/oca/10tables/pdf/es.pdf for this authoritative reference. In 2007, USAID’s Office of Acquisition and Assistance replaced its reference to the ES-6 designator with its own Contractor Salary Threshold (CST) in Automated Directives System (ADS) 302.3.6.10. At 302.3.6.10a, it states:
“The USAID CST is equivalent to the maximum rate for Federal agencies without a certified SES performance appraisal system, as published by the Office of Personnel Management at http://www.opm.gov/oca/. While the amount of the CST is derived from the SES system, there is no other connection between the USAID contractor salary policy and the Senior Executive Service system.”

Supporting the Scale Up of Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention Services
The purpose of this program is to scale up a comprehensive and integrated package of HIV prevention interventions and services in selected districts in the republic of Uganda. Those districts include but are not limited to: Kalangala, Mubende, Mityana, Luwero, Nakaseke, Wakiso, Nakasongola, and Apac and are selected because they have a high HIV prevalence (>8%) and are currently implementing district-wide door to door HIV routine, confidential counseling and testing (HCT) programs through PEPFAR support. Door to door HCT is an excellent approach for accessing confidential HIV counseling and testing services to couples and families. It identifies many discordant couples, improves disclosure of sero-status, reduces stigma and therefore likely has a significant impact on HIV prevention. Post test clubs for HIV + clients and discordant couples have already been formed within the door to door programs in some districts.

"Full and open competition after exclusion of sources" Contracts for Haiti Awarded to Chemonics and DAI
If Chemonics and DAI can mobilize quickly and make a quick impact on the recovery effort than this side stepping of the competition rules is worth it, but we will have to track the efficiency in which these relief efforts get up and running and really make a difference as quickly as anticipated.

This forecast is based upon USAID missions' best guess on planned procurements for the coming year. Usually the timing is not accurate, but for the most part the opporunities listed here are released in some form or another. It is a great tool for lanning purposes. Usually the new one is released around March every year.
