Capacity Building
International Assistance
We help nations respond quickly to natural disasters and man-made crises and address the stabilization and long-term development challenges of a globalizing and sometimes unstable world.
Matlock & Associates is committed to helping both donor and developing nations to:
- Meet emergency humanitarian needs
- Address state fragility and damaged infrastructure caused by conflict and a lack of access to basic services (e.g. food, water, sanitation and shelter)
- Build a peaceful, resilient economy by supporting sustainable, democratic-led development and increasing the capacity for self-government by their leaders and populations
Global Humanitarian Support and Disaster Response Services
We help emergency response teams in disaster-affected areas to conduct quick infrastructure damage assessments, determine emergency humanitarian and infrastructure needs, deliver emergency relief supplies and equipment, provide technical assistance such as post-earthquake seismic monitoring, emergency engineering services and infrastructure/building stabilization assessments and more.
We offer emergency procurement, transportation and distribution of immediate relief supplies such as plastic sheeting, water containers, water purification units, blankets and health supplies, as well as the acquisition of emergency rental equipment or leasing of heavy equipment and related services such as ongoing operations and maintenance.
We offer support for relief and rehabilitation activities through partnerships with other implementing organizations, including international and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), UN agencies and international organizations. Examples of other relief operations include: purchasing local relief supplies for populations in remote locations, supporting primary health care programs, implementing cash-for-work activities, providing emergency seeds and tools and rental equipment to displaced farmers and restoring water systems in drought-stricken countries.

Stabilization, Reconstruction and Fragile/Conflict-State Services

In addition, Matlock can provide targeted services focused on human capital development such as:
- Education, i.e. school construction
- Health care, e.g., clinics, hospitals and related care services

International Capacity Development and Building
International Capacity Development and Building
In conjunction with our International Assistance activities above, our capacity building and development services help to complete the international stability support lifecycle. These activities help to assist the host nations in preventing a perpetual dependence on international aid, by strengthening and supporting self -sufficient local capacities.
At Matlock & Associate, we believe that that promoting growing nations current human and institutional capacities, will not only avoid dependency, but better equip developing governments asses and handle issues associated with environmental, economic and social changes.
In terms of the provision of international development services, Matlock is fully aligned with the values expressed by USAID on its website:
- "At the core of our mission is a deep commitment to work as partners in fostering sustainable development. Rather than impose, we seek to empower and support through collaboration. We work hand-in-hand with those we seek to assist as well as others striving to support the most vulnerable. Nations and communities must increasingly be able to meet the needs of their citizens whether by providing health care, education, or economic opportunity"
Matlock provides international development and support services that may include:
- Support to health care infrastructure and the efficiency of supply chain and procurement systems
- Engagement with host nation governments in fulfilling the goals they have established for education infrastructure, school construction and vocational and education training facilities
- Providing support to infrastructure projects (of all sizes) within developing countries that help improve their population’s access to water, energy, shelter, sanitation, food and other critical life support services
- Working with local partners to help build infrastructure to support private sector industry that will sustain their development, grow their economy and make basic living conditions better for their citizens
- This infrastructure work includes road and bridge construction, culvert and sewer construction, small dams and water management systems, power supply and energy distribution systems, telecommunications and ICT development and irrigation, livestock and agricultural systems

Creating a Global Impact
Partnerships in Civilian Assistance
Matlock is proud to partner with national and international trade associations and other partners to help recognize the important role that civilian assistance partners play and to improve the federal contracting community—especially the mission-critical role it plays in international humanitarian, stabilization and development programming. We hereby recognize just a few of our partners:
Council of International Development Companies (CIDC)
The CIDC is affiliated with the Professional Services Council (PSC-see below) and creates a dynamic, sustainable advocacy platform for U.S. development companies to pursue thought leadership and high-level dialogue with USAID and other donors. It also seeks to educate key audiences on the vital role contractor companies play in achieving accountable, transparent and sustainable development results in support of U.S. national security, economic and humanitarian goals overseas.
Professional Services Council (PSC)
PSC is the national trade association for the professional services industry and provides a forum for federal contractors and procurement related organizations to come together and discuss urgent issues confronting mission-critical delivery of U.S. government and international professional services. Its committees and task forces serve as forum to communicate and network with members on policy and budget issues, but also provide a community to interact with key acquisition leaders and government procurement professionals.
As a PSC member, Matlock is afforded the ability to interact and engage with colleagues, agency officials and congressional staff. It also contributes to PSC’s broader policy agenda, works to rapidly address challenges facing the industry, and interacts collaboratively with the U.S. Government on innovative program strategies and best business practices.
International Stability Operations Association (ISOA)
ISOA is a global partnership of non-governmental and private sector organizations, and independent contractors dedicated to the establishment, support and good conduct of international stability operations. ISOA members work in high risk environments providing stability and protection to regions, nations and/or vulnerable groups laying a foundation for long-term economic, social and political development. Working on all seven continents with more than 200,000 employees worldwide, ISOA members are critical partners to governments, non-government organizations and commercial clients, and are implementation experts with decades of experience in successful stabilization, reconstruction and development operations.
The Small Business Association for International Companies (SBAIC)
SBAIC is a membership forum established to promote the meaningful utilization of small business in international development. Members are small companies in good standing with a solid track record of providing services to USAID and other federal agencies around the world.
