TASC3 allows USAID Missions and Bureaus to easily access quality technical assistance and support for their activities in maternal and child health, nutrition, infectious diseases, and HIV/AIDS. TASC3 works worldwide and has two separate tiers of contractors.
Khulisa is a subcontractor to University Research Co (URC) in the first tier, TASC3-Global Health, which covers the entire spectrum of USAID-supported health, infectious diseases, and population areas.
TASC3-Global Health’s objectives are to:
- Provide USAID with access to technical expertise and implementation support
- Establish cost-effective implementation mechanisms by reducing administrative costs paid by Missions and USAID centrally funded activities
- Customise technical consultations and program support to meet evolving USAID needs
- Provide specialised services and expert assistance to programs that integrate multiple objectives
- Reduce procurement time for Missions and Bureaus
- Conduct and/or oversee comprehensive evaluations of population, health, nutrition, and infectious disease programs
- Provide a mechanism to allow Missions with reduced management capacity to implement activities linked to their objectives
- Allow USAID/Washington Regional Bureaus to assist USAID’s “non-presence” countries
