Activities in USAID/Mongolia are implemented through contracts, grants,
and cooperative agreements with American, Mongolian and international
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and contractors through several basic
instruments:
Contracts
Contracts are used when the principal purpose is to acquire supplies
or services for the direct benefit or use of USAID or any other Federal
government entity; or USAID determines in a specific instance that the
use of a contract is appropriate; and USAID plans to exercise a substantial
degree of operational control.
Cooperative Agreements
Cooperative agreements are used when the principal purpose is the transfer
of money, supplies, services or anything of value to the recipient in
order to accomplish a public purpose of support; and substantial involvement
is anticipated between USAID and the recipient during implementation
of the activity.
Grants
Grants are used when the principal purpose is the transfer of money,
supplies, services or anything of value to the recipient in order to
pursue its stated program, and substantial involvement is not anticipated
between USAID and the recipient during implementation of the activity.
