Summary
H.R. 7710 would encourage the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to be more responsive to the needs of local communities in developing countries and to expand its work with local entities in such countries. Among other actions, the bill would authorize USAID to:
Increase outreach to local entities and improve their access to the agency’s resources;
Allow local entities to submit proposals, applications, and other documentation in local languages;
Provide local partners greater flexibility in recouping costs, providing reports, and meeting other requirements; and
Limit competition for some contracts to local entities.
