USAID Rules & Regulations Workshop

The workshop will give participants a good sense of the issues they confront when dealing with the USAID. Our emphasis will be on AID funding for grants and cooperative agreements, but the workshop should be worthwhile for organizations receiving funding from other federal agencies as well. This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to update agencies on what is happening with the key OMB Circulars affecting PVOs and NGOs. Participants will be encouraged to raise problems they are having and to ask questions that will help them clarify their thinking. Go to www.InsideNGO.org for more information and to register.
