The purpose of the Sudan Monitoring Project (SMP) contract is to provide third-party monitoring, evaluation, and special studies services for United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) funded humanitarian program activities in Sudan.

These services will continue to prioritize monitoring, verifying, and analyzing trends in programs implemented in Sudan’s South Kordofan and Blue Nile regions (also referred to as the “Two Regions”). USAID/BHA is also looking to expand these monitoring services into other inaccessible states and/or localities in Sudan. SMP also includes an optional service to perform programmatic evaluations or special studies in either the Two Regions or other inaccessible states and/or localities in Sudan.

Amendment 1 The information and findings from the monitoring services will be critical in ensuring program learning and accountability, which will be useful for real-time programmatic adjustments and future program design in the Two Regions and for informing the operational strategy in Sudan.
