    The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) issued a Request for Information (RFI) for its Pacific Economic Growth Activity (PEG), aiming to enhance economic development in the Pacific Islands. With an anticipated funding range of $15-$22 million and a five-year operational period, the program targets Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and other Pacific nations. This RFI allows stakeholders to provide feedback on draft technical requirements, facilitating potential partnerships and laying groundwork for future solicitation. Key objectives include improving public financial management, supporting local small and medium enterprises, enhancing trade and investment, and bolstering climate resilience. The expected results focus on increasing revenue, investment, job creation, and support for women-owned businesses, reflecting the overarching goal of fostering inclusive economic growth. USAID emphasizes gender equality, private sector engagement, sustainability, and evidence-driven development, advocating detailed proposals incorporating these elements. Responses are due by July 24, 2024, and interested parties are encouraged to provide insights on additional objectives, evidence gaps, and logistical challenges to refine the program and maximize its impact across the region. This initiative aligns with broader U.S. strategic interests and multilateral frameworks aimed at supporting sustainable growth in the Pacific Islands.
