USAID's Analysis, Information Management and Communications (AIM) Activity Awarded

On September 30, 2005, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded MasiMax a 5-year contract worth almost $36 million—the company’s largest contract to date. This task order will implement the analysis, information management, and communication (AIM) activity of the Bureau for Global Health for all of its offices. MasiMax’s partners are John Snow, Inc.; ORC Macro; and Insight Systems Corporation.

The purpose of the task order is to provide: (1) analysis of health, program, and financial data to support senior management decisions and investments; (2) evidence-based information and services to guide the design and management of USAID health programs; (3) knowledge management and organizational learning for USAID health programs; and (4) communication products and services to raise awareness and understanding of global health issues and activities among the informed public, both U.S. and foreign, as well as among nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs), and decisionmakers in global health. Upon award, MasiMax opened a new office location in Washington, DC, in close proximity to USAID.
