Improving Governance in Haiti Initiative (IGHI)
The U.S. Government, represented by the United States Agency for International Development, Mission to Haiti (USAID/Haiti), contemplates issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to award one Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract with a period of performance of three (3) years with two (2) option years to provide Technical and Support Services for the USAID/Haiti Improving Governance in Haiti Initiative (IGHI).
USAID/Haiti aims to identify unique and innovative methods to engage with motivated government, civic and private sector stakeholders in supporting locally-driven, politically feasible progress on core issues impeding better governance in Haiti:
Fragile state legitimacy and the absence of a basic social contract between the Government of Haiti (GOH) and Haitian people;
Public agencies at the national, departmental and communal levels with inadequate resources, qualified staff and management systems to plan, deliver and monitor public services;
The limited understanding by the public - and many public officials - of the roles and responsibilities of GOH institutions at all levels of government;
Few opportunities for civic engagement in governance processes.
Programmatic objectives and anticipated results are summarized below
Objective 1: Select government entities' ability that manage and mobilize resources and deliver services to citizens improved
Objective 2: Greater engagement between citizens, civil society, the private sector, and government in defining and addressing development priorities
Objective 3: Improved communication, collaboration and coordination across and between levels of government - and with Parliament -on policy, budget and service delivery issues
