“USAID’s past investment and partnership with U.S. PVOs and LNGOs has produced many substantial development achievements and has resulted in organizations with strengthened capacity to achieve critical development outcomes. The DGP will build on this foundation of achievement by entering into direct development relationships with U.S. PVOs and LNGOs that can make significant contributions to addressing today’s development challenges.
LNGOs and U.S. PVOs work in a wide variety of sectors. Their expertise, experience, knowledge of local communities and innovative approaches enable them to make important contributions to achieving USAID’s development objectives. The DGP is intended to expand USAID’s partnership with LNGOs and U.S. PVOs in recognition of their comparative advantages working at the local level across sectors, thereby enhancing our joint capability to meet development objectives in selected countries.
The DGP was created by the enactment of Section 674 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008, which promotes direct grant relationships between USAID, U.S. PVOs and LNGOs.”
