Request for Information (RFI) - Design of a new activity entitled "Government Accountability and Effectiveness in Peru"

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Peru is seeking information to design a new activity focused on government accountability and effectiveness. The goal of this activity is to strengthen the institutional capacity of target subnational governments to plan, budget, and engage the national government to improve public service delivery to the most vulnerable populations. The activity will also strengthen the capacity of civil society to provide effective citizen oversight of public budget execution and decision making. USAID/Peru is looking for input, advice, knowledge, and best practices from a broader audience experienced in strengthening government accountability and effectiveness and citizen oversight. Some key points to consider include: • Approaches to strengthen systems of coordination and accountability between national and subnational governments • Approaches to achieve sustainable strengthened capacity within government institutions • Innovations to awaken civic interest and promote citizen participation in decision-making processes • Cross-cutting thematic approaches that address governance, oversight, and other USAID/Peru objectives • Theories of change to address the proposed problem • Programmatic objectives and approaches to address the problem statement
