The U.S. Embassy in Mongolia and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), in concert with AmCham Mongolia, invite you to submit a 1-page proposal for participation in a pitch event. Proposals are due to Ulaanbaatar-Commercial@state.gov by Friday, August 19, 5:00 p.m.
Meet DFC’s basic eligibility requirements (see below) for project submission and you may be able to give a 15-minute, in-person pitch about your project to a DFC representative visiting Mongolia, September 6.
Proposals must be no longer than 1-page and describe your company, project, and its specific requirements succinctly. Provide an email contact.
We will review these proposals and select up to 10 that meet DFC requirements and then ask the respective company representatives to deliver a 15-minute pitch to the DFC representative at AmCham’s office on September 6, 2022.
Address additional inquiries to Ulaanbaatar-Commercial@state.gov.
Please see the Development Finance Corporation’s introduction here.
Eligible projects must meet these basic requirements:
1. Does the project or business comply with DFC’s environmental and social standards?
DFC requires that all the projects it supports respect the environment, worker rights, human rights, and local communities, while also encouraging a positive host country impact. Visit Investment Policies to learn more.
2. Does the project or business generate development outcomes aligned with the agency’s priorities and/or advance U.S. foreign policy goals?
DFC partners with the private sector to finance solutions to the most critical challenges facing the developing world today. Through its investments, DFC also advances American foreign policy by serving as a stabilizing force in developing countries around the world, including some of the world’s poorest countries and regions affected by conflict.
3. Does the investor or business have a successful track record in the industry?
All projects DFC supports must be within the management team’s competence and should be demonstrated by a recent, proven record of success in the same or a closely related business as evidenced by financial statements.
4. Has the investor or business sought financing from private lenders?
DFC complements, rather than competes, with private sector lenders and supports projects that have been unable to obtain sufficient support from private lenders.
