INTER-AMERICAN FOUNDATION


60-Day Notice for Soliciting and Assessing Feedback From IAF 
Grantees (PRA)

AGENCY: Inter-American Foundation.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Inter-American Foundation (IAF), as part of its continuing 
efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a 
preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and 
federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This program helps ensure that requested data is 
provided in the desired format; reporting burden (time and financial 
resources) is minimized; collection instruments are clearly understood; 
and the impact of collection requirements on respondents is properly 
assessed.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the 
address section below within 60 days from the date of this publication 
in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Kaitlin Stastny, Inter-American Foundation, 
via email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IAF 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:

--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.

    A Notice by the Inter-American Foundation on August 24, 2022.
