Private Sector Program

The Futures Group International led a consortium to succesfully bid this contract. This Private Sector Program (PSP) focuses on increasing sustainable provision and use of quality reproductive health and voluntary family planning (RH/FP) and other key health products and services through the private, and particularly commercial, sector. While this procurement will serve as the flagship for RH/FP in the private sector, many other health products and services may be promoted and/or provided including oral rehydration salts (ORS); water purification kits; insecticide treated nets (ITNs); basic drugs and/or syringes; micro-nutrients and fortified foods; promotion of breastfeeding; and HIV treatment and care services including voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and anti-retroviral therapy (ARVs). Sibley will provide design and application of franchising concepts in support of this program.

Anticorruption Services

DPK Consulting led a consortium to successfully bid this contract. This IQC will provide technical assistance in the area of international anticorruption. By supporting efforts by host government institutions, civil society organizations (including media, youth, labor union and faith-based organizations) and the private sector, this IQC seeks to promote greater transparency, accountability and broader participation in the development process. Governmental integrity support activites under this contract are expected to encompass the following funtional areas: 1) public financial, administrative, regulatory and peronnel controls that promote transparency and accountability; 2) civil society participation in advocating for governmental integrity; and 3) promoting synergies between anti-corruption promotion and other sectoral/sub-sectoral areas, e.g. promoting greater transparency in other sectors, such as health and education, or in other areas of democracy promotion, such as rule of law or decentralization. Under this contract, Sibley will provide audit, accounting, and other services to ensure financial transparency.

Accelerated Microenterprise Advancement Project

As part of a team headed by IBM Consulting, Sibley International has been awarded the Microfinance Component of the Accelerated Microenterprise Advancement Project (AMAP) IQC. AMAP is designed to help USAID's Missions and Washington office establish, deepen, or expand their microenterprise development activities. AMAP will allow for the procurement of timely, effective technical assistance, training, and financial and evaluation services which will facilitate the design, implementation, evaluation, and coordination of creative, cutting-edge microfinance and business development services in all areas of the developing world.

The Microfinance Component will focus on assisting in the delivery of financial services (including savings and credit) to low-income, underserved populations, and facilitating the development of local organizations serving the microenterprise community.

SEGIR General Business, Trade and Investment (GBTI)

Sibley International is part of a consortium of firms headed by CARANA Corporation that holds the General Business, Trade and Investment (GBTI) IQC component of USAID's Support for Economic Growth and Institutional Reform (SEGIR) contract vehicle. The GBTI segment of this initiative focuses on providing intellectual leadership and technical resources for addressing a broad range of constraints to economic growth particularly in the areas of general business development and trade and investment. Sibley's strongest contributions are in the areas of activity design, institutional development, legal and regulatory environment, trade and investment promotion strategy, and firm-level assistance to enhance trade.

The Jamaica SME Project currently in progess falls under the GBTI IQC. Sibley and the CARANA team are implementing a four-year task order to improve the Jamaican business environment, assist SME development, and train Jamaican SMEs to compete in the global market.
