Share promising practices and lessons learned and strengthen knowledge and skills to address governance and fragility challenges
Develop bridge activities that help span gaps in governance programming while developing a new strategy or program or the transition from humanitarian to development assistance

TO INITIATE A BUY-IN,
Contact ME/TS COR Najiyah Alwazir at nalwazir@usaid.gov and A/ COR Rachel Goldberg at rgoldberg@usaid.gov to discuss your project concept or scope of work and its fit with GISR’s scope of work.
When a potential project concept or scope of work matches GISR’s mandate, your Mission or office can select one of the following options:
Option 1: Submit a rough or fully fleshed out scope of work to the COR and A/COR for feedback and/or approval; or
Option 2: Put forward a concept that still needs development to define a scope of work, and request one or more of the following forms of assistance:
Technical and political economy assessments and/or stakeholder consultations to inform concept development and scope of work design; and/or
a co-design process with ME/TS and the MSI consortium to convert the concept into a scope of work. 3. Once there is an approved scope of work, the COR will request the MSI consortium to provide comments on the SOW and a draft budget for discussion with your Mission or office and the ME/TS COR.
GISR can also be used to support technical and organizational assessments that will inform the conceptualization of long-term governance and fragility programs that will be competed separately.
