SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB No.: OMB 0412–New.
Form No.: N/A.
Title: USAID Faith-Based and
Community Organization Survey.
Type of Review: New Information
Collection.
The Center for Faith-Based and
Community Initiatives (CFBCI) supports
the commitment from the White House
and USAID to expand our partnership
community by building broad and deep
relationships with the nongovernmental
organization (NGO) community at large.
In order to better coordinate the
Agency’s work with NGOs and to
improve the effectiveness and extent of
the Agency’s outreach to the NGO
community, the CFBCI is requesting to
send out a voluntary, electronic survey
to contacts with NGOs who have
previously interacted with or expressed
interest in working with USAID and the
CFBCI. The survey will request updated
contact and organizational information
on NGOs working in international
development and humanitarian relief
around the world. By collecting such
information, the Agency will be able to
engage these organizations in a more
efficient and less duplicative way. In
addition, it will allow the Agency to
better monitor its success in engaging a
broad range of NGOs.
Responding to the survey is optional.
An organization’s response or
nonresponse will not have any impact—
positive or negative on its future
relationship with the Agency.

Administration, U.S. and Foreign
Commercial Service (CS) is organizing
an Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) trade mission to the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, April 2–5,
2011. Led by a senior Department of
Commerce official, the mission to Saudi
Arabia is intended to include
representatives from a variety of U.S.
ICT industry suppliers and service
providers. This trade mission will
introduce suppliers of information
technology (IT) and communication
products and services to potential
buyers and allow them to explore new
business opportunities. Participating in
an official U.S. industry delegation,
rather than traveling to Saudi Arabia
independently, will enhance the
companies’ ability to secure meetings
with potential buyers, distributors,
partners and industry officials in Saudi
Arabia. The mission will include
appointments, briefings and a
networking reception in Riyadh and
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s primary ICT
hubs. Trade mission participants will
have the opportunity to interact with
Commercial Service (CS) specialists
covering the ICT industries to discuss
industry developments, opportunities,
and sales strategies.
Commercial Setting
Saudi Arabia is the largest IT market
in the Arabian Gulf, estimated at $3.7
billion in 2010. The Communication
and Information Technology
Commission (CITC), the Saudi
government regulatory agency, revealed
that spending on ICT reached $5.96
billion in 2009, is expected to reach at
$7 billion in 2010, and projected to
grow to $9.8 billion by 2013. The impact
of the global economic downturn on the
country has been offset by business
organizations’ growing interest in
technology solutions, which boost
efficiency and productivity. The Saudi
market will continue to be a lucrative
market for high-tech products and
services over the next few years,
supported by increased government
spending to upgrade the country’s IT
and communications infrastructure.
Additionally, the government’s urban
development initiative to establish new
economic cities, airports, universities
and other infrastructure projects will
also stimulate growth in the ICT sector.
Other major factors that will influence
ICT sector growth include:
• A young population, which is
highly technology-oriented. According
to the CIA World Factbook, the
percentage of population under the age
of 14 is 38%.
PO 00000

• One of the world’s lowest Internet
penetration levels, providing for a good
growth potential.
The latest industry figures revealed
that there were approximately ten
million internet users as of the third
quarter in 2009, about 34% of the total
population, with a broadband
penetration level of 8%.
Industry sources expect sales of
hardware to grow annually at an average
of 7% over the next three years, while
the market for IT services will grow an
average of 9% during the same period.
According to some estimates, per capita
IT spending will reach $173 by 2014, as
personal computer (PC) penetration
rises to more than 30%. The number of
PCs sold in 2009 was 2.1 million units,
and is expected to grow to 7.2 million
units in 2014.
Industry Developments
The Saudi government continues to
prioritize the development and
accessibility of the latest ICT products
and services. One of the Saudi Shoura
Council’s (Saudi Parliament) strategic
objectives is to raise the IT sector’s
contribution to GDP from the current
4% to 20% by 2020. The Council aims
to raise broadband penetration from 8%
to 23% by 2013. Despite the economic
downturn in 2009, the Saudi
government pressed ahead with its
ambitious e-government plan and IT
projects. The government launched a
$3.1 billion plan to improve the
education system, by equipping schools
to keep pace with scientific and
technological activities, which will
include the establishment of a
technologically integrated school system
with the latest high-tech products and
services available to both students and
teachers. In line with the government
vision to enhance the country’s IT
standing and install a digital
infrastructure, the Saudi market will
present excellent opportunities for U.S.
manufacturers/suppliers of:
—DSL access switches, enabling multiservice transmission equipment.
—Fiber-optic satellite links.
—Wideband transceivers.
—Network protocol software and
systems.
Additionally, there will be growth
potential for PCs, notebook computers
and IT accessories and services.
Collectively, these product categories
generated sales that reached $2.9 billion
in 2009, including about $1 billion for
IT services. Industry sources estimate
that total spending on ICT products and
services will reach $9.8 billion by 2013.
Total U.S. goods exports to Saudi
Arabia in 2009 were $10.8 billion.
