USAID’s Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
Conference Call Announcement!
Highlights of USAID Forward: Procurement Reform & Development Innovation Ventures
Procurement reform, a top priority for USAID Administrator Dr. Rajiv Shah, is intended to make it easier to do business with USAID by increasing competition, strengthening the capacity of local organizations, and expanding partnerships with a larger number of NGOs. Likewise, as a part of President Obama’s and Dr. Shah’s commitments to increase investments in game-changing innovations, USAID has announced the launch of Development Innovation Ventures (DIV). Through DIV, USAID seeks to work with a variety of partners to create innovative scalable solutions to core development challenges.
Join Ari Alexander, Deputy Director of the Center for Faith Based and Community Initiatives; Maura O’Neill, Senior Counselor to the Administrator; and other USAID officials for a conference call highlighting these efforts in the context of our USAID Forward set of reforms on November 12, 2010 at 12:00 pm Eastern. There will be an opportunity for Q&A with the USAID staff on the call.
