USAID is an independent federal
government agency that receives overall foreign policy
guidance from the Secretary of State, advancing U.S. foreign
policy objectives.
USAID works in close partnership with private voluntary
organizations, universities, American businesses, international
agencies, other governments, and other U.S. government
agencies.
Based on active partnerships with local
public, private and non-governmental organizations (NGOs),
USAID field missions in each country identify needs and
establish a strategy for delivering assistance to the
host country. In order to define USAID’s strategic
objectives in a given country, consideration is given
to U.S. foreign policy interests, the level of resources
available to the USAID mission (both financial and human),
and the role of other donors in the host country.
The authorities to design, procure and implement
specific activities are largely delegated to field missions,
based on USAID/Washington’s approval of the country
strategy.
Like other missions, USAID/Paraguay USAID
utilizes various acquisition and assistance instruments
to implement its activities. Contracts, grants and sub-grants,,
cooperative agreements and purchase orders are some of
the instruments which are negotiated and signed worldwide
by USAID
