About this opportunity
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) in Guatemala has issued a Request for Information (RFI) concerning a proposed Sustainable Agricultural Water Management (SWM) activity. This RFI is designed to gather insights and expertise from organizations experienced in agricultural water resource management, climate adaptation, and infrastructure development. The agency is specifically targeting input related to irrigation and water resource challenges affecting smallholder farmers in Guatemala's Western Highlands and the departments of Alta and Baja Verapaz. USAID will use the collected information to support a feasibility assessment and develop a detailed plan for addressing water management limitations in the region. The RFI is purely informational and does not constitute a formal funding opportunity or commitment from USAID.
Contractors and organizations interested in participating must submit their responses electronically by January 22, 2025, at 17:00 Guatemala local time. The RFI invites organizations to provide technical insights on watershed management approaches, institutional capacity building, community-based adaptation strategies, financial models, Indigenous community inclusion, and sustainability mechanisms. Participation is entirely voluntary, and respondents will not be compensated for their input or receive any competitive advantage in future solicitations. The agency is seeking comprehensive information that can help inform the design of a potential water management initiative aligned with Guatemala's National Irrigation Policy (2024-2033). Key focus areas include technical expertise, case studies of successful water management interventions, and organizational capabilities relevant to agricultural water resource management in similar geographic and climatic contexts.
