Description
SI is responding to a solicitation from USAID/Caucasus that has been released under the USAID/HICD IQC. USAID/Caucasus seeks to improve the human and institutional capacity of local partner organizations in the public, private, and non-governmental sectors. Thus, HICD 2020 is designed to assist the Mission in addressing its partner organizations’ administrative limitations and performance gaps that impede the effective implementation of all key reforms, including those related to the European Union Association Agreement, the Open Government Action Plan, and Civil Service Reform. In addition, Georgian public institutions remain prone to recurrent and frequent organizational and personnel changes that necessitate the development of commensurate restructuring and staff alignment plans and related business processes. Top managers and key performers in these institutions require qualified and demand driven assistance with a quick turnaround time and a holistic approach. SI is looking for a Deputy Chief of Party to propose on our team and manage this eventual contract.
