    FY 2023 Second Quarter Business Forecast and Partner Update

    Webinar Resources

    Thank you to all who participated in today's Business Forecast and Partner Update webinar. You can access a recording of the webinar and a transcript of today's event on our Business Forecast webpage.

    Responses to the General, Washington, and Mission questions submitted in advance of our webinar are also available on USAID's Business Forecast page. Please note that we will post an updated document with any remaining responses in the coming days. Please continue to check our the Business Forecast page if your question has not yet been answered.


    Acquisition & Assistance Strategy

    During today's webinar, you saw a brief presentation on our recently launch Acquisition and Assistance Strategy (A&A Strategy). The Strategy outlines a new vision for USAID to become more innovative in our approach to development challenges, more transparent in our decisions, and more strategic as we steward U.S. taxpayer investments. Visit our A&A Strategy webpage to learn more.

    We also want your feedback on the A&A Strategy Implementation Plan! This is a living document that outlines actions USAID will take to meet the objectives we've put forth. Check out this blog that outlines some questions to consider as you review the Implementation Plan. Got ideas? Send them to IndustryLiaison@usaid.gov. There is no deadline to send us your input. 


    WorkwithUSAID.org Sub-Opportunities Portal

    The new Sub-Opportunities portal on WorkwithUSAID.org shares opportunities being offered by USAID's prime implementing partners, who may seek subcontractors or subawardees when they need specialized expertise or on-the-ground support. If you are a current USAID prime partner, we encourage you to submit your sub-opportunities here. Posting on the portal is not a requirement, but it will raise the visibility of your subaward and subcontract opportunities. If you are a potential partner looking to compete for a sub-opportunity, visit the portal to learn about ways to get involved. 

     

    Thank you for your continued engagement with USAID.

    USAID Industry Liaison Team
