Abstract:
In response to COVID-19, USAID's top priority is to protect the safety, health, and security of our global workforce -- including our Implementing Partners, in order to ensure that we can continue our life-saving mission across the world, and support partner countries in their response to COVID-19. The purpose of this survey is to help USAID to get an expansive view of our programs and the ongoing challenges being faced by our implementing partners.
Emergency Justfication:
USAID’s Implementing Partners (IPs) play a vital role in delivering development assistance and humanitarian aid around the world. Their role in implementing USAID programs has been impacted by COVID-19 to varying degrees, depending on the country context and sector of their work. Since every country is different, we propose sending a survey to IPs to identify areas of USAID support for partners implementing existing USAID-funded activities in the COVID-19 operating environment. The survey questions focusing on COVID-19 follows up on the survey that USAID conducted in April and May of 2020, to gain further understanding of COVID-19’s operational impact on USAID-funded activities following the end of the Department of State Global Authorized Departure on December 9, 2020.
