Hiba Anwar

Hiba Anwar serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Tanzania, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen health, education, economic growth, and governance systems through expert technical and advisory services. She manages the acquisition of specialized consulting and professional services aligned with U.S. foreign assistance priorities, including malaria vector control, water and sanitation infrastructure, and institutional capacity building. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing sustainable development outcomes through strategic contracting that prioritizes local expertise and long-term impact. She typically handles competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for professional services contracts requiring high-level technical and managerial expertise. Hiba Anwar engages a diverse range of service providers, primarily international and local consulting firms with demonstrated experience in public sector reform and development programming. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her procurement patterns reflect consistent collaboration with firms possessing specialized technical capabilities in health systems strengthening, economic policy analysis, and governance advisory services. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, rigorous vendor evaluation, and adherence to USAID’s standards for local partner engagement and knowledge transfer. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 25% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering domestic entrepreneurial capacity in Tanzania’s development sector. Hiba’s acquisitions are overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her focus on bespoke advisory services, and to a lesser extent NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting). She procures technical assistance, institutional diagnostics, monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and capacity-building programs that require domain-specific expertise in public health, education policy, and economic governance. Her work ensures that USAID/Tanzania leverages high-quality, contextually relevant expertise to drive measurable, sustainable development results.
