SENEGAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROMOTION AND BUSINESS INVESTMENT PROGRAM

In order to advance the Policy mentioned above, USAID/Senegal intends to solicit and award a five-year contract for the Senegal Entrepreneurship Promotion and Business Investment Program (herein referred to as "the Program") using full and open competition. The Program will support USAID/Senegal private enterprise activities across the Mission portfolio of Feed the Future (FTF), Water & Sanitation, Power Africa, Trade Africa, and Democracy Governance & Human Rights. It is expected to reinforce entrepreneurial capacity in building professional human resources that will provide business advisory services to improve agribusiness and financial and managerial performance for wealth and employment creation, with a focus on strengthening value chains in the Zone of Influence (ZOI), including removal of cultural and economic barriers to women's full participation in decision-making processes. This announcement is a Request for Information (RFI), not a Request for Proposals (RFP) and is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government to issue any solicitation or ultimately award a contract on the basis of this RFI, or to pay for any information submitted as a result of this request. USAID/Senegal is seeking public comments on the draft Statement of Objectives of an anticipated Request for Proposal (RFP) for the implementation of the Entrepreneurship Promotion and Business Investment Program.
