The Contractor will provide USAID/Iraq with utilization-driven support in the areas of project/activity monitoring, evaluation, research, organizational learning, and knowledge management. The primary goal of this contract is to improve performance management at all levels to help the Mission meet Agency requirements, make better informed strategic and management decisions, and advance USAID learning on effective development approaches. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been a major partner in the U.S. Government's ongoing development efforts in Iraq. USAID/Iraq manages assistance designed to achieve a wide-ranging set of development results including the construction and/or renovation of key infrastructure; community stabilization; fostering economic growth; and building the capacities of national, local, and provincial governments to represent and respond to the needs of the Iraqi people. Currently, there are 17 activities with a combined value of $955 million. In order to achieve success with these efforts, USAID/Iraq relies on performance information to support effective and informed decision- making. USAID places great importance on monitoring, evaluation and learning. Additionally, the high political profile that characterizes U.S. assistance to Iraq requires that USAID report to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders such as Congress, the State Department, the National Security Council, inspectors general, and auditors, on both a regular and ad hoc basis.
