The USAID Climate Finance for Development Accelerator (CFDA) is introducing a Dairy Methane Abatement Window that will support the USAID/Pakistan Mission, under its U.S. – Pakistan “Green Alliance” partnership, in promoting the twin goals in Pakistan’s dairy sector of sustainable growth and methane reduction. This Window is also responding to USAID/Pakistan’s Office of Climate and Sustainable Growth’s (CSG) objective to partner with the local dairy industry to focus on reducing methane emissions from the industry. Through the Window, CFDA is soliciting concept notes from private-sector enterprises for innovative concepts with the potential to be financially self-sustaining, and which will deliver significant outcomes in the areas of (1) effective, measurable, and scalable options for reducing dairy emissions; and (2) climate smart livestock production and management techniques with the aim to enhance dairy productivity.

Applications in response to this APS Addendum will be accepted through December 27, 2024 at 11:59pm PKT. Questions regarding this announcement will be accepted through the Solicitation Question Submission Form through November 14, 2024 at 11:59pm PKT.

Interested offerors are encouraged to join the Climate Finance Investment Network (CFIN). Managed by CFDA, the CFIN brings together climate finance stakeholders across a diverse set of sectors and emerging and frontier markets to partner with USAID. The objective of the network is to crowd in private sector climate financing through learning, partnership facilitation, and catalytic grants. CFDA will share all full and open solicitations, amendments, answers to questions, and other updates with contacts registered with the CFIN. There is no cost to join the CFIN and membership does not involve any commitment or obligation.
