Advancing Development Outcomes through Improved Good Governance Worldwide

Tetra Tech supports partner country good governance, transparency and accountability through citizen participation, inclusive political processes, and human rights promotion.
With the launch of its Strategy on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance (DRG) in 2013, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the establishment and consolidation of inclusive and accountable democracies to advance freedom, dignity, and development.

The Active Communities – Effective States (ACES) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is an important tool to help USAID elevate DRG issues within the current administration’s foreign policy agenda. The ACES IDIQ is designed to integrate democracy programming throughout USAID’s core development work and prioritize the engagement of local development parties as critical players in a country’s development and its ability to achieve DRG goals.
