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.

Chemonics International, under the USAID Sustainable Investment Accelerator (SIA), released an Annual Program Statement (APS), a broad funding statement under which (1) the SIA program is soliciting General APS grant applications for climate finance concepts that align with SIA objectives and (2) SIA may issue Addenda to this APS with more narrowly defined climate finance objectives and specific pools of grant funding when available. (SIA was formerly known as the Climate Finance Development Accelerator – CFDA)
Future Addenda under this APS for specific funding opportunities will be linked below when available.
Interested applicants 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.
