Nahed El-Naggar

Nahed El-Naggar serves as an HR Assistant within USAID/Egypt, supporting the agency’s human capital and administrative procurement functions. In this role, she facilitates the acquisition of professional services critical to workforce development, organizational capacity building, and institutional strengthening initiatives. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract documentation, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and liaising with program officers to align procurement activities with USAID’s strategic priorities in governance, economic resilience, and public sector reform. While not a contracting officer, she plays a vital operational role in enabling the timely execution of task orders and service contracts under the agency’s HR and technical assistance portfolios. Nahed collaborates closely with a broad network of professional service providers, including international consultants, local Egyptian NGOs, and technical firms specializing in human resources systems, training design, and organizational development. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on long-term, performance-based partnerships rather than transactional engagements, supporting sustained capacity-building outcomes. She ensures contractor deliverables align with USAID’s mission-driven objectives, emphasizing quality, local ownership, and measurable impact. Her procurement activities reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a commitment to merit-based selection without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes technical capability and alignment with program needs over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with USAID’s global operational model. Nahed’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing human resource management consulting, workforce training programs, organizational assessments, and institutional development services. Her expertise centers on procuring technical assistance that enhances public sector HR systems, leadership pipelines, and workforce efficiency, directly supporting USAID/Egypt’s mission to build sustainable, locally led institutions.
