Subject to availability of funds, USAID anticipates that this activity or activities will be implemented over a period of five (5) years.Responses received will be used to develop a design document that ensures clarity, maximum development impact, coordination with existing and planned USAID and other development partner programs, and alignment with USAID’s and the Government of the Philippines’ priorities. USAID/Philippines may also consider stakeholder consultations in further revising the SPEED design.This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a request for proposal nor a call for applications.
