About this award
Research Triangle Institute (RTI International), a prominent non-profit research organization, was awarded a $30.6 million definitive contract by the U.S. Mission in Mexico (USAID) on June 4, 2021, to implement the Tuhifadhi Maliasili Activity (Let's Conserve Natural Resources) in Tanzania. This indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee with no set-aside designation, addresses biodiversity conservation challenges through June 2025. The activity aims to increase private sector engagement in conservation, build capacity within governmental and civil society organizations, strengthen natural resource policies and regulations, and combat wildlife trafficking across priority wildlife corridors in Tanzania. RTI's technical approach emphasizes evidence-based recommendations for policy improvements and comprehensive strategies for sustainable natural resource management.
The contract leverages an extensive subcontractor network consisting of international and local conservation organizations, including Wildlife Conservation Society, African Wildlife Foundation, Traffic International, Southern Tanzania Elephant, and Journalists' Environmental Association of Tanzania, alongside Tanzanian community-based organizations such as Tanzania Forest Conservation Group, Tanzania Natural Resources Forum, and Zoologische Gesellschaft Frankfurt. Notable recent subcontractors also include research firms Mobile Accord Inc. and technical assistance providers like Foundations of Success. This collaborative structure reflects USAID's approach to conservation programming, integrating scientific research, community engagement, anti-poaching initiatives, law enforcement capacity building, and sustainable livelihood development. The contract was terminated for convenience, with an ultimate completion date of February 26, 2025.
