Projects Current
projects implemented by the AED Center for International Training include: Egypt Education Reform Project (ERP): CIT is working
with AED’s Global Education Center in the implementation of the participant
training component by identifying training providers. The program is an
integrated set of activities intended to establish a foundation of policy and
institutional capacity for sustainable and replicable reform in seven target
governorates and institutional partners. Energy Sector Technical Advisory & Assistance
Services (Energy II): AED is a subcontractor to
PA Government Services on the Energy Sector Technical Advisory and Assistance
Services IQC. Under this IQC, technical assistance is being provided in the
areas of energy sector reform, utility management, energy efficiency,
renewable energy, and technology transfer. FIELD-Support: Financial
Integration, Economic Leveraging, Broad-Based Dissemination promotes
economic growth and improves the financial security of poor households and
businesses by strengthening financial and business support systems and their
ability to access those systems. Focus on Results: Enhancing Capacity across Sectors
in Transition Countries (FORECAST): FORECAST provides a unique
opportunity to use a comprehensive human and institutional capacity
development (HICD) approach to assess performance gaps and provide targeted
interventions to address the gaps within workgroups or institutions that are
coping with changing economic, political and social systems. As part of the
HICD approach, AED provides participant training services, including training
program development and management, monitoring and evaluation, and all
associated participant processing services such as visas, medicals, English
testing, and pre-departure orientations. Local Economic Development: AED's comprehensive services to support local economic
development include needs assessments, custom and off-the-shelf training
interventions, technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation, strategic
planning, and policy consultations. Moldova Agribusiness
Development: The goal of the USAID funded Agribusiness
Development Program in Moldova is to work with Moldovan private farmers and
agribusinesses to increase rural incomes and employment by improving the
international competitiveness, and thereby the trade performance, of
Moldova’s agricultural sector. AED is
a subcontractor to CNFA on this activity, providing training support services
to the project. Orientation Visits,
Conferences, Workshops, Training and Outreach Activities: In March 2006,
AED’s Center for International Training in the Social Change Group were
awarded with this Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) by the US Trade and
Development Agency (USTDA). AED is one of approximately 30 contractors
holding this IQC to provide support for Orientation Visits, Conferences,
Workshops, Training and Outreach Activities. People, Energy &
Development (PED): The primary objective of
this IQC is to facilitate more effective and efficient knowledge management
in the energy sector and to establish linkages between energy services and
the strategic objectives of USAID’s three Pillar Bureaus: Economic Growth,
Agriculture, and Trade; Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance; and
Global Health. One STEP: Provides direct access to AED services
for Training, Educational Exchanges, and Professional Programs developed over
decades of successful project implementation. Strategic Technical Assistance for Results with Training
(START): Provides training and related services throughout the world to
USAID’s Economic Growth, Agriculture, and Trade Bureau. Services include needs assessment, training
planning, design, implementation, evaluation, and follow-on. Trainings are conducted in the US,
in-country, and in third countries.
Under START, CIT currently has activities in 20 countries. Support for Economic Growth and
Institutional Reform (SEGIR): SEGIR is one of USAID’s assistance
instruments, created to support economic growth in developing countries.
SEGIR currently encompasses 28 consortia representing 250 contractors
specializing in five technical areas: General Business, Trade, and Investment
(GBTI); Commercial, Legal and Institutional Reform (LIR); Macroeconomic
Policy; Privatization; and Financial Sector. Youth and Community Action Program (YCAP): The focus
of this USAID funded project is to increase civic activism among youth and
adults in communities around Armenia.
This will be accomplished through mobilization of youth to form youth
clubs that will use local resources to identify and address community issues,
and through mobilization of adults to both support the youth and to mobilize
themselves as well. AED partners
with Junior Achievement of Armenia on this activity. |
