SUBJECT: Request for Information (RFI) – “Developing New Landscape Scale
(AFOLU) GHG Calculator Tool”
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Democracy, Development and
Innovation (DDI) Center for Energy, Environment and Infrastructure (EEI) is seeking information and
recommendations for the development of a new tool to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU). Any entity i.e., for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions, foundations, higher education institutions, governmental bodies, agencies of the United
Nations etc. may provide comments, critiques, or responses.
This RFI intends to provide USAID with technical input on the feasibility and ease of building a new
calculator tool with the capabilities described below. The tool will help USAID Missions and operating
units track and report on USAID climate indicators (13-6, 13-7, and 13-8) and align with the priorities of
the USAID Climate Strategy.
This RFI is issued solely for information, research and planning purposes and does not constitute a
Request for Proposals (RFP) or a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Responding to this RFI will
not give any advantage to or preclude any organization or individual in any subsequently issued
solicitation or NOFO. Any future development activities related to this activity will be announced
separately on https://beta.sam.gov/ and/or https://grants.gov. The RFI does not represent any award
commitment on the part of the U.S. Government, nor does it obligate the U.S. Government to pay for
costs incurred in the preparation and submission of any responses. Information received as part of this
RFI shall become the property of USAID. Therefore, proprietary information that cannot be shared should
not be sent. While verbatim responses will not be shared publicly, any submitted information may be
included in a publicly available high-level summary of the RFI results, or in other public presentations or
documents.
Responses should be submitted to USAID via email only to shwhite@usaid.gov no later than December
30th, 2022 at 5:00pm EST. Thank you for your interest in USAID’s activities. We look forward to
receiving your responses.
Sincerely,
