On Friday, January 24, the State Department ordered an immediate pause on new foreign aid spending for 90 days, as well as a stop-work order for existing grants and contracts. Stop-work orders require projects to pause all technical work immediately until an evaluation has been conducted. In adherence with these guidelines, this procurement opportunity is currently paused.

The USAID Sustainable Investment Accelerator (SIA) – Pacific Islands Green and Resilient Investment Activity aims to strengthen Pacific Island Countries’ capacity to access and manage climate finance for mitigation and adaptation efforts. Through the Scaling Innovative Green and Resilient Enterprises and Projects in Fiji and Papua New Guinea (PNG) funding opportunity, SIA is soliciting concepts from climate positive enterprises, accelerators, or projects that will deliver significant outcomes for resilience in Fiji and PNG. (SIA was formerly known as the Climate Finance Development Accelerator – CFDA)
Interested offerors are encouraged to join the Sustainable Finance Investment Network (SFIN). Managed by SIA, the SFIN 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. SIA will share all full and open solicitations, amendments, answers to questions, and other updates with contacts registered with the SFIN. There is no cost to join the SFIN and membership does not involve any commitment or obligation.
