SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    OMB NO: OMB 0412-New.
    Form No.: N/A.
    Title: USAID Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Contact 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 for whom we have no organizational 
affiliation 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 non-response will 
not have any impact--positive or negative--on its future relationship 
with the Agency.

Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 3,000.
    Total annual responses: 3,000.
