USTDA launches tender for Expand Africa Initiatives

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency issued a call for initial proposals to expand its grant-based support for feasibility studies, technical assistance, and pilot projects that advance the U.S. government’s Prosper Africa and Power Africa initiatives, as well as USTDA’s Access Africa initiative.

USTDA accepts proposals to advance infrastructure projects in developing and middle-income countries throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with a priority emphasis on agribusiness, energy, healthcare, ICT, and transportation. Grant funding from USTDA can be used for feasibility studies, technical assistance, or pilot projects to structure sustainable infrastructure projects.

USTDA is an implementing agency of Power Africa, a U.S. government-led partnership to increase access to electrical power and support private sector investments in African energy infrastructure. USTDA is also an implementing agency of Prosper Africa, a U.S. government initiative to substantially increase two-way trade and investment between the United States and Africa. Through its Access Africa initiative, USTDA is supporting quality ICT infrastructure across Africa.

USTDA will accept initial proposals through December 7, 2020.
