Janine Scott

Janine Scott serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Nigeria, supporting the agency’s mission to strengthen governance, public health systems, and sustainable development outcomes across Nigeria. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on technical assistance, capacity building, and institutional strengthening, with a strong emphasis on performance monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) frameworks. Her work ensures that contract vehicles align with USAID’s strategic priorities, particularly in health systems strengthening and subnational governance, often requiring specialized expertise in data science and local institutional capacity development. She oversees the full lifecycle of solicitations, from requirement definition through award and performance management, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and USAID’s development effectiveness standards. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Janine routinely engages a broad spectrum of professional service providers, including international consultants, local Nigerian firms, and technical implementers with demonstrated expertise in public health, data analytics, and governance programming. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for flexible, performance-based partnerships that prioritize adaptive management and local ownership, often involving long-term, task-order-based agreements to support evolving program needs. Janine’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects USAID/Nigeria’s operational approach, which prioritizes technical merit and programmatic fit over socioeconomic set-asides, though small and medium-sized enterprises—both domestic and international—are regularly selected based on demonstrated capability and value. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 812990 (All Other Personal Services), supporting expert consulting and technical assistance; NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), enabling workforce capacity building; and NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), covering data systems design and MEL tools. A smaller but notable portion of her portfolio includes NAICS 562213 (Solid Waste Combustors and Incinerators), indicating targeted environmental health interventions. Her domain expertise spans health systems, governance, and data-driven program implementation.
