USAID: Implementing Partner Survey on COVID-19, A&A Strategy, & Safeguarding

  • 1.  USAID: Implementing Partner Survey on COVID-19, A&A Strategy, & Safeguarding

    Posted 03-25-2021 09:07
    USAID/M/OAA asked that we share this survey for existing USAID implementing partners on COVID-19, A&A Strategy, and Safeguarding. Responses are due by April 8

    Dear Partners, 

    USAID is conducting a survey to gain information on a range of Implementing Partner (Partner) issues. The survey covers questions related to COVID-19, USAID's Acquisition and Assistance Strategy (A&A), and USAID guidance on safeguarding (e.g., preventing sexual exploitation and abuse).

    The survey questions follow up on the survey that USAID conducted in April and May of 2020. We are seeking to gain further understanding of COVID-19's operational impact on USAID-funded activities following the end of the Department of State Global Authorized Departure (G/AD) on December 9, 2020.

    Please respond to each question based on the current operating environment in the countries where you work. 

    Please note that this survey is only for existing USAID partners. This is a voluntary and anonymous survey. There is no requirement or obligation by USAID partners to complete the survey. Emails of organizations submitting responses will not be collected. Please do not submit any personally identifiable information in your responses. This survey should take between 15-30 minutes to complete depending on the number of regions where your organization currently implements USAID activities. 

    The survey will be open for two weeks. If you wish to take the survey, please try to complete it by no later than Thursday, April 8, 2021.

    Questions related to the survey can be directed to IndustryLiaison@usaid.gov.
