USAID Human Rights for Vulnerable Groups Program

USAID/Georgia is preparing to hold a presolicitation conference in late September 2023 for the Human Rights for Vulnerable Groups Program. This event aims to facilitate collaboration and the creation of consortia among potential offerors, subcontractors, and grantees, with a particular focus on encouraging local organizations to participate as prime contractors. The conference will offer an opportunity to gauge interest and build partnerships ahead of the anticipated Request for Proposals (RFP), which is expected to be released in mid-to-late October 2023. Additional details about the conference will be provided at the beginning of September 2023. The overarching goal of the Program is to address the human rights challenges faced by vulnerable groups in Georgia, including persons with disabilities, victims of gender-based violence, vulnerable children, and the LGBTQI+ community. The initiative seeks to support the development of responsive government policies and services, enhance public awareness, and strengthen the capacity of civil society organizations for effective advocacy and monitoring. The solicitation aligns with NAICS code 541618 and is managed by USAID’s Caucasus office based in Tbilisi, Georgia, with Meagan Schronce designated as the point of contact.
