Local Partner Capacity Development and Financial Management

The contract aims to enhance the financial systems, procurement processes, and internal controls of local Ethiopian sub-partners to ensure full compliance with U.S. federal grant requirements and maintain audit readiness. This subcontract focuses on building sustainable capacity within local organizations to manage funds effectively, adhere to U.S. government standards, and implement robust oversight mechanisms that reduce risk and improve accountability. The initiative is led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Department of Health and Human Services, targeting improvements in financial governance specifically within Ethiopia to support public health programs funded by federal grants. Efforts under this agreement will involve training, technical assistance, and system upgrades tailored to the operational context of Ethiopian sub-partners, ensuring they can meet stringent federal compliance expectations without relying on external support in the long term. The solicitation was posted on August 3, 2026, with responses due by October 2, 2026, and falls under the NAICS code for accounting, auditing, and bookkeeping services. Although no specific geographic location or point of contact is provided, the performance is expected to occur within Ethiopia, with all activities designed to strengthen institutional resilience and fiscal integrity for the duration of the grant lifecycle.
