Economic Recovery Project
Grant Opportunity
Opportunity
Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has stalled
economic growth around the world. During this time of hardship, it
is important for countries to support each other and invest in
resilient economic initiatives. The United States remains committed
to this goal, and to encouraging a free, prosperous, and open
Indo-Pacific region that nurtures innovation, sustainable growth,
and connectivity.
In support of that vision, the U.S.
Embassy in Fiji is requesting innovative grant proposals focused on
promoting economic recovery from the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic. The Embassy aims to assist local organizations and
associations that are already finding solutions to the economic
adversities caused by the pandemic, with a special emphasis on
tourism, entrepreneurship, and international trade. The Embassy
will prioritise grant proposals that:
• Creatively find paths toward
economic growth and resilience
• Illustrate well-crafted plans with
medium- and long-term objectives
• Promote increased trade with the
United States
• Incorporate online/virtual platforms
to improve service or delivery of goods
Grant proposals must benefit Fiji,
Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, and/or Tuvalu, and must address U.S.
Embassy Goal #3: Promote sustained economic prosperity driven by
open-market economic policies and high standard investment;
increased connectivity; improved natural resource management; and
free, fair, and reciprocal trading relationships.
