This Request for Information (RFI) solicits information and potential interest from organizations in the public and private sector (profit and non-profit), including Pakistan-based corporate entities, local and international for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and Pakistani diaspora groups, with the requisite expertise, interest, and resources for potential partnerships with USAID to implement development activities in the governance sector in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.

USAID seeks information on the capabilities of potential partners related to improving taxation-related systems and capacity. These capabilities may include, but are not limited to, reviewing and developing frameworks, strategies, policies, and procedures; conducting trainings and assessments; strengthening organizational and human resource capacity; and developing and implementing strategic communications strategies or approaches.  USAID is particularly interested in viable approaches to build the capacity of provincial-level government revenue authorities to improve domestic resource mobilization through improved implementation of the general sales tax on services, among other means. To achieve maximum impact and scale interventions, respondents should identify opportunities to leverage available resources to the greatest extent possible.

Please refer to Attachment “A” for additional information and Attachment “B” for background information on the activity.
