USAID is undertaking an historic set of reforms to implement its development programs through a wider and more varied set of contractors and grantees, with a particular focus on working with local in-country partners. As part of this effort, USAID is investing in building the capacity of local civil society and the private sector to improve aid effectiveness and sustainability. The May Gender Roundtable will take a closer look at USAID’s strategies and its impact on women-led local groups from the perspective of both USAID and women’s civil society. We hope you will join us for this important discussion.Light Refreshments will be served.Please RSVP here if you plan to attend the event on May 3rd. Also, we would like to call your attention to USAID’s LOCAL CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT (LCD) CALL FOR PAPERS: As part of Implementation and Procurement Reform under USAID Forward, USAID’s local capacity development team would like to know more about organizations' efforts and experiences towards developing the capacity of local civil society and private sector organizations. This is an opportunity to tell USAID about your organization’s vision for LCD, the innovative approaches (specific tools and activities) needed to achieve that vision and lessons learned in this process. USAID’s team will review each submission and invite a limited number of organizations to present their models and approaches to USAID. The collection will inform a Local Capacity Building Summit in June 2012 that will highlight USAID partners’ most successful and insightful efforts towards achieving LCD to the broader capacity development community. The deadline for submission is May 14, 2012. Please visit the following link for full details and submission guidelines: http://forward.usaid.gov/node/307We look forward to seeing you on May 3rd.Best,Women Thrive Worldwide |
