The USAID Business Enabling Project (“the Project”) is a five-year (2022-2027) USAID-funded project that aims to catalyze greater gender equality and inclusive private sector investment and trade in rural Zambia. The Project will support creation of an enabling environment that incentivizes productive investments in trade, agriculture, energy, eco-tourism/sustainable natural resource management.

The Project has issued a “Vendors Prequalification Notice” to invite interested and eligible companies to submit applications for the provision of goods and services within Lusaka, Central, Eastern and Southern provinces for a period up to 2 years. Small businesses and women led organizations are encouraged to apply.
