USAID/Burundi Localization Events - Industry Day and Localization Training
In 2024, ECG organized two events to support USAID’s localization mission in Burundi.
- Firstly, ECG organized and held an Industry Day for the USAID/Burundi mission and local organizations in Burundi. The objective was to introduce and build relationships between the USAID mission staff and a wide range of local partner organizations, with an aim to support the mission in its wider localization goals – to increase the proportion of local organizations receiving USAID funding. A total of 124 participants and 65 local organizations attended the USAID/Burundi Industry Day. The event was conducted in French, the official language of Burundi.
- Secondly, to further support USAID’s localization goals in Burundi, as a follow up event to the Industry Day, ECG planned and conducted a Localization Training for 67 participants from 18 local organizations. The objective of the training was to build the capacity of local organizations to work with USAID, including identifying, bidding on, winning, and implementing a USAID project. The training also provided access to additional resources to further build their capacity.
