The USAID Climate Finance for Development Accelerator (CFDA), through the Mobilizing Finance for a Resilient Zambia Activity (MFRZA), is seeking to identify a local firm or consortium to design and manage an Investment Facilitation Platform (IFP) that ultimately positions entrepreneurs and project developers to secure public and private sector investments for locally led climate adaptation interventions. The IFP will target small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), not-for-profits, projects and new ventures (“Projects”) that are advancing climate interventions in line with Zambia’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP), specifically the agriculture, water, resilient energy systems, and/or healthcare sectors.

Proposals in response to this Request for Proposals will be accepted through February 13, 2025 at 11:59pm EST. Questions regarding this announcement will be accepted through the Solicitation Question Submission Form through January 15, 2025 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.
