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.

Purpose

    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.

Management.
