solid was retained by USAID support services provider TetraTech to support an expanded public relations, media, and outreach strategy for the 2014 PAEGC, to build awareness about the USAID-led Powering Agriculture: An Energy Grand Challenge for Development.
The PAEGC identified and supported new and sustainable approaches to accelerate the development and deployment of clean energy solutions for increasing agriculture productivity and/or value in developing countries. As awareness grew, the number of submissions to the 2015-2015 PAEGC far exceeded the previous year's levels, setting new records for engagement.
The PAEGC invested a total of $47.1 million over seven years, (2012-2019), funded by The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Government of Sweden (SIDA), the Government of Germany (BMZ), Duke Energy Corporation, and the United States Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC).
