Sibley International and its team of 10 partner firms was awarded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) a contract to provide over a period of five years technical services to support USAID programs in rebuilding, developing and transforming countries. The services to be provided by the Sibley Consortium cover the broad range of skills and experiences needed to help promote and sustain economic growth through entreprenurial development, business formation, commercial law reform, expanded and more open trade, and increased investment, both local and foreign. The members of the Sibley Consortium are: The Aries Group Ltd., JE Austin, Boston Institute for Developing Economies, Carson Associates, Crimson Capital, Dalberg Global Development Group, GBRW, IOS Partners, Parker Whitfield and TCG International.

MACRO II: Macroeconomic Policy, Poverty Alleviation, and Economic Institutions and Analysis

MACRO II will advance USAID's goals by working to deliver the following outputs:

    • Core research on priority technical, policy, and strategy issues, and applied research to meet specific, contextually defined requirements of countries, regions, or sub-regions.
    • Information dissemination through seminars, workshops, conferences, and working papers, and other means.
    • Customized strategic and tactical development approaches.
    • Technical advice and implementation support to USAID regional bureaus, field missions, and host country officials on all aspects of relevant macroeconomic and sectoral policies.
    • Training of USAID and host-country decision makers and technical personnel in the design and implementation of economic policy and institutional reforms.
    • Long-term, in-country coordination and management of field activities under the SEGIR mechanism.

Private Sector Program

The Futures Group International led a consortium to successfully 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 activities under this contract are expected to encompass the following functional areas: 1) public financial, administrative, regulatory and personnel 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.
