ECOS Project OverviewTo advance developing countries’ journey to self-reliance, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) safeguards people and resources by systematically addressing environmental risk. USAID developed the Environmental Compliance Support (ECOS) contract to provide USAID staff and implementing partners worldwide with technical, educational, and knowledge management assistance to facilitate compliance with 22 CFR 216, Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) Sections 117/118/119, regulatory requirements, and executive order and policy objectives. A single, Agency-wide contract, ECOS offers a consistent, quality approach to environmental compliance; minimizes duplication of systems and effort; facilitates the sharing of lessons learned; reduces compliance risks; and reduces transaction costs of missions and operating units seeking access to environmental compliance and related services.
SummaryICF is seeking to hire a short-term independent consultant for work under the ECOS project in relation to social impact assessments (SIA) and their role within environmental compliance procedures. The SIA expert will join strategic planning conversations, provide USAID with expert advice and high-level insight, and contribute to and/or review specific knowledge products tailored to USAID’s needs.
