Closing Date to receive Concept Papers: March 23, 2020 @ 10:00 am.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Colombia (USAID/Colombia) is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement from qualified entities to implement Partners for Transparency (the Activity). Eligibility for this award is not restricted, as noted in Section C of the Request for Applications included in this NOFO.

The purpose of the USAID/Colombia Partners for Transparency Activity is to support locally-driven solutions to increase transparency and accountability, and effectively reduce corruption in Colombia. This Activity helps strengthen citizen-responsive governance and increase citizen trust. The Activity accomplishes this purpose by leveraging targeted stakeholders’ expertise, engagement and unique positions of influence to achieve the following objectives:

  1. Advance national-level government transparency and accountability initiatives;
  2. Promote local-level civic participation;
  3. Strengthen oversight and control institutions’ efforts to fight corruption;
  4. Promote a culture of transparency and accountability; and
  5. Promote local partner capacity and sustainability.

Recognizing that corruption is a multifaceted phenomenon, this Activity engages both public-sector counterparts and a broad range of local partners to include Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) such as media, business associations, trade unions, chambers of commerce, think tanks, universities and advocacy groups. The Activity increases local capacity and sustainability to reduce corruption and support transparency.
