AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced it has been awarded a single-award task order
with a $90 million ceiling by the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) to support implementation of the
G7 Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGI).
Launched at the G7 Summit in 2022, PGI is a collaborative effort to
facilitate investment in sustainable, high-quality infrastructure
projects in developing nations around the world in key economic
corridors with the goal of mobilizing finance to deliver clean
energy, transportation, digital, agriculture and health
infrastructure.
“We are proud to expand our decades-long partnership with USAID
to drive transformative economic development and regional
connectivity by creating infrastructure solutions that meet
international standards, address climate imperatives, and promote
good governance,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “AECOM’s
specialized experience in infrastructure development and technical
assistance positions us as the partner of choice for federal
clients like USAID, and our role in this vital initiative will help
strengthen supply chains for clean energy and critical minerals,
enhance food security, and increase economic opportunities in
strategic corridors across the globe—advancing our commitment to
delivering Sustainable Legacies worldwide.”
In its role, AECOM will bring together technical experts to
support infrastructure development for rail, port, clean energy,
digital technology, and food security projects around the world
aligned with its Think and Act Globally strategy. Additionally,
AECOM will also offer technical advisory services related to
overcoming technical, legal, and regulatory challenges, and private
investment facilitation.
Over the last three years, the United States has mobilized more
than $60 billion towards PGI investments through federal financing,
grants and private sector investments. The U.S. government aims to
mobilize $200 billion by 2027, contributing to the broader G7
target of $600 billion by 2027.
