request for applications: portable energy solutions to enhance the Logistics chain for the delivery of essential goodsRTI

Purpose: The USAID Energy Secure Philippines (ESP) Activity through its Energy Evolution Challenge grant facility seeks applications to fund, in the form of grants, qualified organizations/companies to demonstrate innovations in portable solutions to enhance the logistics chain for the delivery of essential goods. The efficient and timely shipment of essential and temperature sensitive goods such as medicines and food, particularly during the pandemic is significantly hindered by limitations in the availability, portability, and flexibility of cold storage equipment, reliable energy sources, and other complementary support systems. Currently, the cold storage facilities in the country are owned by large companies but are fragmented and disconnected from local regions.
Innovations in portable energy solutions with applications to the logistics chain can address the gaps in the effective delivery of essential goods to both rural and urban areas, where location, safety, congestion and route circumstances pose a challenge in making deliveries to the sites.
