Webinar: Best practices in partnering with USAID

For organizations looking to diversify funding sources, the U.S. Agency for International Development — as one of the world's largest bilateral donors awarding approximately $16 billion in funding annually in recent fiscal years — presents an attractive alternative. What do organizations need to know in order to succeed as a prime contractor on USAID projects? Is subcontracting on a project always a necessary entry point? On Jan. 31, Konektid International and Devex outlined best practices in partnering with USAID. This one hour webinar covered: • How to apply for and succeed on USAID prime contracts. • Three key things to keep in mind when applying for a USAID subcontracting opportunity. • How small businesses can succeed on USAID contracts. • How Devex helps advance a prime and subcontracting strategy. The panelists also answered audience questions on air, including: • Is it more common to subcontract with prime contractors on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis? • How do you know when certain opportunities are open to non U.S. firms? • Are there certain meetings that new potential prime contractors should attend? • Is an organization ever too small to partner with USAID?
