Opening Remarks ? Technical Overview and Q&A ? Closing Remarks Please note that USAID intends to issue a solicitation for the activity preliminarily entitled “USAID Data-Driven Collaborating, Learning, and Adapting (CLA) Support Services.” The purpose of the activity is to enable data-driven decision-making and evidence-based collaborating, learning, and adapting within and amongst USAID/Georgia and its partners to improve program management and development impact in Georgia. As development programs continue to adapt to the rapidly-changing and dynamic operating environment in Georgia, USAID/Georgia requires access to up-to-date/on-demand contextual information, systems and processes to coordinate timely programmatic responses, and qualitative and quantitative context data to advance the goal and development objectives of its 2020-2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy. As information sources and data points continue to grow, the Mission also requires comprehensive knowledge capture, retention, transfer, and management practices to support evidence-based decision-making and efficiently and effectively facilitate CLA approaches within USAID/Georgia and amongst implementing partners. Additionally, the Mission requires performance improvement services for its strategic partners, and an approach that fundamentally ensures responsiveness to program participant feedback regarding USAID’s assistance.
