- Description
- SPECIAL NOTICE FOR HAITIAN ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES. SPECIAL NOTICE for HAITIAN ORGANIZATIONS and BUSINESSES INDUSTRY DAY: HOW TO DO BUSINESS WITH USAID USAID/Haiti will hold a workshop on Friday, September 12, 2014 and invites local development partners (ONGs, civil society organizations, and Haitian businesses) to learn more about "How to Do Business with USAID in Haiti". Why does USAID/Haiti want to work with local organizations? Local organizations are well-positioned to address key development challenges in innovative ways through their first-hand knowledge of the Haitian economy. USAID strongly believes that a key to sustainable development lies in strengthening the capacity of local organizations. What is "Industry Day"? Industry Day is a one-day workshop at which USAID/Haiti will inform local organizations on how to do business with USAID in Haiti. At this workshop, USAID will: 1) present past organizations experiences; 2) inform the audience about upcoming bidding opportunities; 3) review the upcoming solicitations' components in detail; 4) discuss the required format and content of the applications; and 5) provide an overview of the application evaluation process. USAID/Haiti's Industry Day is designed to assist prospective bidders in successfully competing on USAID activities. Important to note: USAID has limited funding and only the most successful applications will be considered in future solicitations. During the upcoming year, only five local organizations are expected to receive awards from USAID/Haiti. Logistics: The conference will be held on September 12, 2014 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, at the Karibe Convention Center located at Juvenat, Port-au-Prince. The workshop is free but participants must cover all personal costs of attending. Coffee, lunch, and refreshments will be provided to all participants. Participation is limited to two individuals per organization and USAID reserves the right to limit participation based on space availability. If an applicant is unable to attend this conference, USAID will videotape the event and will post the video on www.usaid.gov, www.fbo.gov and www.grants.gov. To register for the conference, or to submit questions regarding conference logistics, please e-mail Amy McQuade at amcquade@usaid.gov. Please indicate your name, your guest's name, contact information, title, and organization. Register now! Conference space is limited and requests must be received by September 9, 2014.
