Deadline: 7 February 2018
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement from qualified U.S. and Non-U.S. organizations to implement USAID Funded Community Based Counter Wildlife Trafficking Activity.
All funds anticipated over the life of the award are expected to be earmarked for biodiversity conservation, with a portion of these also directed for combating wildlife trafficking (CWT). In order to ensure USAID meets the intentions of legislation in support of biodiversity conservation, the Agency has a “Biodiversity Code” that defines four criteria required of programs which use funds appropriated for biodiversity.
The four criteria are:
- The program must have an explicit biodiversity objective; it is not enough to have biodiversity conservation result as a positive externality from another program;
- Activities must be identified based on an analysis of drivers and threats to biodiversity and a corresponding theory of change;
- Site-based programs must have the intent to positively impact biodiversity in biologically significant areas; and,
- The program must monitor indicators associated with a stated theory of change for biodiversity conservation results.
Funding Information
- Estimated Total Program Funding: $10,000,000
- Award Ceiling: $10,000,000
Eligibility Criteria
Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), and U.S. and non-U.S. for profit firms (provided they forgo profit) may participate in this funding opportunity.
