Diane Moore serves as Regional Executive Officer for USAID/Serbia, overseeing the strategic planning and execution of technical assistance contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to strengthen institutional capacity and public sector governance. In this role, she directs the procurement of advisory services that support Serbia’s alignment with European Union standards, particularly in public procurement reform, transparency initiatives, and data-driven policy development. Her portfolio centers on performance-based, results-oriented acquisitions designed to enhance public service delivery through expert technical support and institutional capacity building. She ensures all procurements adhere to U.S. foreign assistance guidelines and international best practices in development contracting. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Moore maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of international and local consultants, think tanks, and implementation partners specializing in governance and public administration. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, often engaging firms with proven expertise in EU accession processes, anti-corruption frameworks, and civic engagement methodologies. She prioritizes long-term, adaptive partnerships over transactional engagements, fostering sustainable capacity transfer through structured technical assistance. Moore’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with 20% of awards designated for 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating active support for small disadvantaged businesses. The remaining 80% are non-set-aside awards, indicating a balanced approach that integrates small business participation without compromising technical rigor or programmatic impact. Her office consistently leverages small business capabilities to deliver innovative, locally responsive solutions while maintaining compliance with U.S. foreign assistance procurement regulations. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), reflecting a deep specialization in non-clinical, non-infrastructure advisory services. She procures strategic consulting, policy analysis, training, and institutional development services tailored to public sector modernization, with expertise in governance reform, procurement system digitization, and civil society engagement. Her domain knowledge centers on the intersection of democracy, transparency, and public administration reform in transitional economies.
