Abstract: The Mentor-Protege Program is designed to improve the performance of USAID contractors and subcontractors by providing developmental assistance to protege entities, foster the establishment of long-term business relationships between small businesses and prime contractors and between institutions of higher education with Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and increase the overall number of small businesses and MSIs that receive USAID contract and subcontract awards. A signed mentor-protege application for each mentor-protege relationship should be submitted to the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) for approval.
