The purpose of USAID’s Mentor Protégé Program is to provide developmental assistance to Small Businesses, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), Woman Owned Small Businesses, and Small Businesses that have obtained certification in the Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) program. The intent of the developmental assistance is to enhance the capabilities of the protégé firms to perform as prime contractors and subcontractors on USAID procurements.
