The United States Agency for
International Development must collect information as part of the
Public-Private Partnerships Opportunity Explorer (PPOE) will be
used to initially respond to private-sector interest in a
partnership with Feed the Future and provide additional information
and contacts regarding partnership. The information will be
collected from private-sector organizations that are interested in
partnering with the U.S. Government.
The authority for this activity
is provided in the Foreign Assistance Act of 19611 and recurring
Foreign Operations Appropriations Acts2. FTF is a presidential
initiative, created by the Obama Administration. The Administrator
of USAID serves as the de facto coordinator for the initiative-the
authority for the PPOE is provided by a request from the
Administrator. Additionally, the tool aligns with USAID Forward
reforms, which call for USAID "to more effectively achieve high
impact development while making the best use of limited resources"
and for USAID to contract with more and varied local partners
(including private sector organizations), and create partnerships
that help create the conditions where aid is no longer necessary in
the countries where USAID works
