USAID Grant for Customized Workshops: Partnering and Capacity Building for Pakistani Organizations

This USAID Request for Information seeks input from local Pakistani organizations to design a series of customized workshops. This grant is for the purpose of enhancing the capacity of local organizations to effectively collaborate with USAID. The workshops aim to outline various avenues for engagement, strengthen their ability to take a leading role in USAID’s development processes within Pakistan, and prepare them for future co-creation initiatives. Co-creation is a participatory design process that leverages diverse ideas and resources for better program outcomes. This initiative aligns with USAID Mission Pakistan’s broader localization strategy, empowering local actors to define their own agendas and implement sustainable solutions.

Description:	The purpose of this RFI is to obtain baseline information from local organizations and conduct market research to design a series of workshops customized to the Pakistani context that aims to: (1) provide different ways and avenues for Pakistani organizations on how to work with USAID, (2) build the capacity of local organizations to take a leading role in USAID’s development process in Pakistan, and (3) enable local organizations to be better placed for future co-creation. Co-creation is defined as a participatory design process that aims to produce better outcomes by tapping into ideas, resources, energy of people and organizations that share a stake in the solution of the program. These series of workshops will complement the Mission Pakistan’s localization strategy that seeks to enable local actors to set their own agendas, develop solutions and bring their leadership and resources to make those solutions a reality.
