USAID Funding: How to Enter and Grow in the USAID Market

USAID distributed more than $30 billion last fiscal year. Join us on January 24 at 10 AM ET when Mike Shanley, CEO of ISOA member company Konektid International, will share best practices for starting and growing your work with USAID, learned through nearly a decade of supporting USAID partnering strategies.

The webinar will cover their “3-P” process to growing in the USAID market and will give you tools you can take back to your organization to build and grow your USAID work. We will discuss changes under the Biden Administration, localization, small business utilization, key funding trends, and USAID’s direction under Administrator Samantha Power.

This webinar will be targeted to international development and aid organizations interested in USAID funding. It is the first of a series of ISOA USAID-focused events and webinars.
