The Power Africa Off-grid Project, a United States Agency for International Development (USAID)–contracted project implemented by RTI International, seeks applications to fund one or multiple awards to provide incentives, in the form of grants, to mini-grid developers to collaborate on the development of mini-grids in Ntenungi village, Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement, in Western Uganda. These mini-grids should support provision of safe and reliable electricity to refugees and host communities in areas not being served by the national grid. This RFA provides prospective applicants with a fair opportunity to develop and submit competitive applications to the Power Africa Off-grid Project for potential funding.
Applicants should submit clarification questions by email to paopgrants@powerafrica-offgrid.org with the subject line “PAOP-RFA-2022-008: Question(s)” by January 17th, 2022, at 17:00 South African Standard Time (GMT+2). The Project will not respond to telephone inquiries. The Project will host a live webinar on January 19th, 2022, with further details posted to the RTI website (www.rti.org/rfp). Answers will be posted on the RTI website (www.rti.org/rfp) on January 24th, 2022.
