Engility Holdings Inc., recently announced that it has received a $10.1 million contract to supply technical advisory services to the Guatemala office of the U.S. Agency for International Development to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The five-year contract represents Engility’s 12 years of experience in Guatemala, supporting new work to improve natural resource management, environmental policy, disaster reconciliation and rural development, the company said.
Engility president and CEO Tony Smeraglinolo comments on the award.
“Through programs such as the Climate Change Resilient Development Project and task orders under the Environmental Policy and Institutional Governance II Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) Engility has been a leader in providing guidance and strategies for climate change with USAID over the last five years,” said Smeraglinolo.
Through the USAID/Guatemala Low Emissions Development Strategy Project, Engility will collaborate with the Guatemalan government and private sectors, academia and non-governmental organizations to demonstrate the simplicity of achieving financial goals while practicing mindfulness in climate change mitigation.
“We appreciate the confidence USAID has placed in us, and our team of professionals in Guatemala looks forward to providing outstanding service under this new work,” said Smeraglinolo.
The company plans to help the Guatemalan government finalize the national greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) inventory, determine the origins of excessive emissions and perform cost-benefit analyses.
