The USAID Climate Finance for Development Accelerator (CFDA) is soliciting concepts from qualified organizations seeking grant funding to launch or scale investment vehicles or funds that will deliver significant outcomes for climate adaptation in Zambia. Relevant concepts may include (but not be limited to): launching a new fund/financial instrument in Zambia focused on investing in climate adaptation solutions; scaling an existing regional investment fund focused on climate adaptation to enter Zambia; or broadening the scope of an existing fund or financial instrument in Zambia to include an adaptation component.
Applications in response to this APS Addendum will be accepted through January 15, 2025 at 11:59pm EST. Questions regarding this announcement will be accepted through the Solicitation Question Submission Form through December 5, 2024 at 11:59pm EST.
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.
