The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking feedback through this Request for Information (RFI) from entities interested in the attached Concept Paper for the USAID/Human Rights and Access to Justice for Migrants Activity. This Activity will work with migrant, returnee, and receptor communities, and the Government of Colombia justice institutions to understand and address the barriers that prevent migrants and returnees from accessing their services and be better equipped to prevent and respond to migrant human rights violations when they occur.

Any interested organizations are invited to provide feedback on the Concept Paper included in Attachment A. The purpose of this RFI is to assess the soundness and robustness of the conceptual design.

Responses will strictly be held confidential. Potential offerors/applicants must not expect a direct response from the U.S. Government to any of the comments/suggestions. 

Please strictly limit the response to the questions included in Attachment B and to comments/suggestions to the document. To expedite our review and be considerate of your time, please keep the response to no more than eight (8) pages in length. Please note not all questions must be answered.
