Jean Jacques Badiane

Jean Jacques Badiane serves as a key procurement professional within USAID/Senegal, supporting the agency’s mission to advance sustainable development across West Africa through strategic acquisition of technical and professional services. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts aligned with USAID’s priorities in governance, public health, education, climate resilience, and institutional capacity building. His acquisitions primarily involve expert consulting, program implementation support, and technical assistance services delivered by domestic and international firms working in close collaboration with Senegalese and regional partners. Badiane ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while promoting locally led development through transparent, performance-based contracting. His contractor relationships are characterized by engagement with a broad spectrum of professional services firms specializing in international development, with no single vendor dominating the portfolio. He consistently works with firms possessing deep technical expertise in sector-specific domains such as democratic governance, health systems strengthening, and climate adaptation planning. These partnerships are typically structured as task-order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms, allowing for flexible, responsive support to evolving program needs across the region. Badiane demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. However, he actively supports socioeconomic goals by allocating 12.5% of his contracting activity to Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2, prioritizing Senegalese-owned firms and regional entities with proven local capacity. This approach reinforces USAID’s commitment to building indigenous expertise while maintaining operational agility. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized consultancies, monitoring and evaluation services, training programs, and technical advisory support. He routinely procures expertise in policy analysis, data systems design, community engagement methodologies, and cross-sectoral integration, reflecting USAID/Senegal’s emphasis on evidence-based, locally contextualized development outcomes.
