QUAMED: USAID Ready!

Early in 2023, OUAMED was notified that USAID would like to conduct a pre-award survey of our organisation.  A USAID pre-award survey is a required process to become a recognised and eligible USAID partner. The purpose of the survey is to assess financial management, internal controls, and the capacity necessary to effectively manage USAID funds and implement projects. After the notification, we submitted the requested documentation and in June 2023, we received a virtual 3-day visit of 3 auditors. The visits resulted in a positive recommendation from the pre-survey award team with one observation related to our IT and Data management policy. We are now happy to announce that the observation has been successfully addressed. Earlier this month, the USAID Pre-Award Survey team informed us that there are no more outstanding observations. We are now a fully eligible partner for USAID funding. We are looking forward to a long-term relationship in areas such as further developing our QUAMED Learning platform to include more accessible courses for distributors, manufacturers, and regulators.
