Fanny M. Jorge

Fanny S. Jorge serves as an Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID/Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she plays a pivotal role in executing technical assistance and policy reform initiatives through strategic procurement and assistance mechanisms. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional services that support democratic governance, institutional capacity building, and digital transformation across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her work directly advances USAID’s mission by securing expert consultants and technical firms to deliver audit quality improvements, electoral system modernization, and energy policy development. Fanny specializes in non-construction services requiring high-level technical expertise, often coordinating with in-country stakeholders to align contracting outcomes with local reform priorities. Fanny collaborates with a diverse array of international and local professional service providers, including consulting firms, policy research institutes, and technical advisors with deep regional expertise. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for agile, mission-aligned partners capable of delivering adaptive, evidence-based solutions in complex political environments. She fosters long-term vendor relationships built on technical credibility, cultural competency, and compliance with U.S. government assistance standards, ensuring that contractors can operate effectively within Bosnia and Herzegovina’s institutional landscape. Fanny’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions open to full and open competition. This reflects USAID/Bosnia and Herzegovina’s strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified technical providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing outcome-driven performance over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she remains attentive to opportunities where qualified small firms meet the stringent technical requirements of her procurements. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing policy analysis, institutional strengthening, electoral technical support, and digital governance consulting. She routinely procures services related to public financial management, anti-corruption frameworks, energy sector regulation, and civic technology solutions, demonstrating deep expertise in governance and development consulting.
