ADDRESSES: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: works to promote sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean by offering small investments directly to civil society organizations through funding actions, such as grants and cooperative agreements. By gathering perceptions from grantees on how the IAF works as a funder, the IAF is able to assess its performance and identify opportunities for improvements. The IAF seeks to work with a contractor to independently carry out this survey with IAF grantees. The contractor will use an online survey with a set of standardized questions focused primarily on grant processes, such as the approach to grant selection, the time lapse between selection and commitment, and reporting and evaluation. The contractor will also apply these standardized questions to other funders, thus providing the IAF with findings relative to that of other comparable organizations. The IAF is particularly interested in comments which: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES —Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; —Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; —Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and —Can help the agency minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
