• Develop local partner capacity and prepare local partners to manage direct awards.

This RFI is open for comments from any local Civil Society Organization (CSO), South Sudanese Organization, US, or non-US. Organization. This is an RFI, not a Request for Application (RFA). Do not submit any applications or proposals at this time; only the information requested per Attachment 1- RFI Questions for respondents and submission instructions- and all responses will be treated confidentially.

USAID may revise the structure and concept of the activity based on the comments received, but it is not obligated to do so.

All comments must be submitted electronically, with the subject of "RFI: USAID/South Sudan Care and Treatment Activity," no later than the date and time stated above.

Please note: This is NOT a solicitation. This RFI is issued solely to gather information and innovative ideas for new design and planning purposes.
