Godfrey Kyagaba

Godfrey Kyagaba serves as an Acquisition and Assistance (A&A) Specialist at USAID/Uganda, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements aligned with the agency’s mission of building local capacity in health, governance, and ecosystem management. He manages a diverse portfolio of non-construction contracts focused on technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation, and institutional strengthening, primarily supporting U.S. government-funded development programs such as PEPFAR. His work ensures that acquisitions adhere to federal regulations and USAID’s development effectiveness standards, emphasizing outcomes-driven service delivery and sustainable local partnerships. Godfrey collaborates with a broad spectrum of professional service providers, including international and local consulting firms, research institutions, and technical implementers specializing in public health systems, environmental science, and governance reform. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for flexible, performance-based contracts that enable adaptive management and evidence-based programming. He engages vendors through competitive solicitations under FAR and USAID’s Automated Directives System, prioritizing technical merit, local engagement, and implementation capacity over cost alone. Godfrey’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under general competition. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and inclusive, welcoming participation from all qualified entities regardless of size or ownership structure. His approach reflects USAID/Uganda’s emphasis on technical excellence and program impact over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with significant activity in environmental consulting, management advisory, and technical evaluation services. He routinely procures expertise in health systems strengthening, climate-resilient agriculture, data-driven governance, and monitoring and evaluation frameworks, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in development programming and performance measurement.
