Grant Description: USAID/Pakistan announces its intention to invite comments and suggestions on a draft Program Description (PD) for the implementation of a Cooperative Agreement. The primary objective of ASP is to establish a mechanism that will enable USAID/Pakistan to work with more local implementing partners and host government institutions, many of which are faced with institutional capacity issues. Through the performance of pre-award surveys, the ASP will specifically target those local implementing partners which are considered essential to meeting USAID/Pakistan's goals and objectives, but do not meet minimum standards for managing USG funds. The ASP will allow for the provision of the technical assistance required to build their institutional capacity up to USAID standards.
