Grant Description

The USAID Peru Mission intends to support an associate award to strengthen civil society’s understanding of corruption and improve its capacity to monitor transparency and accountability in public administration and the fight against corruption. Civil society, as defined in this award, includes not only non-governmental organizations (NGOs), but the media, business associations, professional organizations, universities, private sector institutions, etc. The award will be made to one local Peruvian organization identified as the lead civil society representative. The organization chosen as the award recipient will ensure funding is appropriately allocated to other partners, results are achieved, and deliverables are met.
