Deadline: 22-Mar-22
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement from qualified entities to implement the Water Governance for Sindh (WGS) Activity.
The overall MSP-S project implementation has encountered a shifting political landscape in terms of local governance. There have been several failed efforts at reform in water and sanitation service delivery in Sindh, and the sector has suffered from lack of institutional clarity on roles and responsibilities.
Scope
The activity scope for Sindh may cover other interventions under this Sub-SpIR, as described in the SpO PAD. However for Jacobabad the following elements of Sub-SpIR 1.1.2: ‘Water supply and sanitation improved’, would be applicable:
- Work in close coordination with the provincial and local governments, for strengthening municipal services capacity.
- Assist communities by the transfer of knowledge on how to avail services along with sustainable behaviour change.
- Improve the solid waste collection, transportation, and management system.
- Support WASH interventions to promote access to safe water and sanitation, as it is critical for disease prevention.
Funding Information
- Subject to funding availability and at the discretion of the Agency, USAID intends to provide up to $3 million in total USAID funding over a three (3) year period.
- The anticipated period of performance is 36-months.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility for this NOFO is restricted. The eligibility to implement the WGS Activity is open only to Local Pakistani Organizations. Applications will not be accepted from any other types of organizations or individuals.
