/>March 20-22, 2012<br
/>Sofitel Plaza Hanoi<br
/>Hanoi, Vietnam<br
/></span></span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">This three day program will provide a comprehensive overview of USAID grants and cooperative agreements. Participants will improve their ability to manage awards and build the confidence to guide their organizations through successful award implementation. USAID is contracting this course for its staff and partners. Participants at the workshop will earn
<strong>8 CPE* credits</strong>
for each day of the Workshop (for a total of
<strong>24 for the three days</strong>)
and receive a certificate of attendance. No prerequisites required.</span></span></p>
<p><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Previous participants had these comments about this Workshop:<br
/></span><em><span
style="font-family: Arial;">"Probably the best USAID rules and regs workshop there is."<br
/>"I feel rejuvenated & ready to practice the rules & regs - I understand my job better."<br
/>"I heard the training was good - but it was even better than I expected! I learned something new every hour."<br
/>"I feel better equipped to deal with USAID rules and regs and have established a good foundation on which to build."<br
/>"[The training has] given me an insight and a broader view of all what I need to know and where to find information."</span></em></span></p>
<p><strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Who should attend:</span></span></strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"><br
/><strong>Finance and Administrative Staff:</strong>
Finance officers, controllers, accounting and compliance managers who have on-going responsibility for the administration of USAID awards.</span></span></p>
<p><strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Program Staff:</span></span></strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> Headquarters and field program staff with a need to know the USAID requirements, particularly in the decentralized environment prevalent in many PVO's/NGO's</span></span></p>
<p><strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Development Staff:</span></span></strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> Those staff members who seek and hopefully find outside financial support must understand the nature of the relationship that the PVO/NGO is entering with the US government and those areas where negotiation of favorable award terms and conditions is possible. </span></span></p>
<p><strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">Outside Independent Auditors:</span></span></strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> Representatives of certified public accounting firms who perform Circular A-133 or Financial Audits of private voluntary organizations and NGOs should attend to gain familiarity with the criteria against which those organizations are reviewed.</span></span></p>
<p><strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;">USAID Staff:</span></span></strong><span
style="font-size: 9pt;"><span
style="font-family: Arial;"> Agreement Officers, CTOs and Program staff who need to make sure they know and are up to date on the rules and regs that they have to implement. </span></span></p>

<p><span

style="font-family: Arial;">Previous Subaward Management Workshop attendees had this to say:<br
/></span><em><span
style="font-family: Arial;">“Very informative, I learned so many new things that I could not conceptualize by just reading the manual”<br
/>“More than met my expectations - learned a lot”<br
/>“Clarified how we handle our contracts and cooperative agreements in compliance with USAID” <br
/>“I can now advise the organization on the right direction to take”</span></em></span></p>
