According to a recent Vox article, “thousands of innovative Global South-led and -based organizations — groups which may be more effective because they understand local context better and interact with local policy actors to make sure effective programs continue after USAID leaves — are not receiving funding because of bureaucratic issues” (McDonough, 2022). See this framework, currently being developed and implemented by Social Impact’s Vietnam Learns team, that is helping local organizations overcome barriers to entering the USAID market in Vietnam.
