- Description
- This scope of work describes services to be provided by the Contractor to USAID/West Bank and Gaza Mission Strategic Objective Team 8 (Improving Community Services). The Strategic Object Team seeks timely, appropriate, effective interventions that respond directly to the hardships being faced by average Palestinians as a result of the current situation. In particular, the Mission wishes to: a. Provide resources to the Palestinian community, using Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as the delivery vehicle, that will contribute to impeding the process of disintegration that is negatively impacting critical sectors, including the economy, health, education, and services that reach out to particularly vulnerable populations, including children, women, the elderly, the disabled, the chronically impoverished and populations that are geographically or sociologically marginalized. b. Identify critical (including emergency) needs of constituent populations of Palestinian NGOs and to deliver services to those populations. c. Establish a system of grants-making to Palestinian NGOs in order to support their response to emergency needs and to provide critically needed services to people who will not be able to otherwise access those services. Under this Scope of Work the Contractor will implement a $10 million, 2 year program that will provide grants to Palestinian non-governmental organizations to support delivery of services to the Palestinian population of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. These services are anticipated to illustratively include, but not be limited to, employment generation, health, social welfare services, education, rehabilitation, emergency food support strategies, assistance to farmers and the agricultural sector, seasonal response (e.g. winterization, drought relief), and shelter rehabilitation. The Contractor will: a. Design and implement a grant-making project component that is accessible and user friendly to even small, community-based Palestinian NGOs. b. Design and implement a method of ongoing rapid needs assessment to ascertain that grants are targeting needy populations and are not redundant or duplicative of other USAID, donor, United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNWRA), or community efforts. c. Design and manage a system to support procurements that may need to be undertaken by Palestinian NGOs lacking the administrative and managerial capacity to conform to USAID procurement regulations and guidelines. d. Design and implement a monitoring and evaluation system for the grant-making and service delivery of recipient organizations. This system must be capable of accurately ascertaining that assistance is effectively reaching needy populations and assessing the impact of the assistance provided. NAICS code is 813219, Other Grantmaking and Giving Services. The Small Business Size Standard is $5,000,000. Estimated Cost Not To Exceed $10,000,000. See attached solicitation.
