# United States funds investor hunt for Tunisia phosphate project | Kilambi News

> The US State Department, via its Near Eastern Affairs bureau and Embassy in Tunis, awarded a 1.5 million dollar grant to consultancy CrossBoundary Group to attract US investment into PhosCo's Gasaat phosphate project in Tunisia. The programme targets up to 100 million dollars of investment, and PhosCo itself receives no funds under the award.

## Why it matters

The effort aims to bring US capital and partners into a Tunisian phosphate basin that Washington sees as strategic for critical minerals, which could add future phosphate supply outside the dominant producers. The near-term price impact is minimal since the project is early-stage and funding is limited.
