Anita Mbaziira

Anita Mbaziira serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Uganda, supporting the agency’s mission to build sustainable development and institutional resilience through strategic contracting. She manages acquisitions aligned with technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation, and localized service delivery in health systems strengthening, governance, and ecosystem management. Her portfolio centers on professional, scientific, and technical services that enable evidence-based programming and capacity building, often in partnership with Ugandan institutions and international technical experts. Mbaziira ensures compliance with U.S. foreign assistance regulations while advancing USAID’s goal of fostering local self-reliance through transparent, performance-driven contracting. Her contractor relationships involve a diverse array of international and local firms specializing in public health programming, data analytics, institutional capacity development, and environmental sustainability services. She collaborates with firms offering expertise in PEPFAR-aligned health interventions, M&E frameworks, and adaptive management tools, maintaining a vendor ecosystem that balances global technical capacity with local implementation knowledge. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, results-oriented agreements that emphasize accountability and measurable outcomes. Mbaziira’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her approach supports equitable access through transparent, merit-based selection processes that prioritize technical merit and local relevance over categorical preferences. Her primary NAICS focus is 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—reflecting her specialization in complex, non-standardized technical support contracts. She procures services including program evaluation, behavioral health interventions, governance advisory, climate-resilient ecosystem management, and data systems design, demonstrating deep expertise in development sector technical domains and adaptive management methodologies.
