72060520R00001 - Amendment No. 3 -CEERC.pdf

This solicitation seeks proposals to establish sustainable "green industries" that support biodiversity and carbon-rich forest conservation in the Republic of Congo. The purpose of this activity is to deliver services that maintain the ecological integrity of humid forests in the Congo Basin by reducing threats through private sector engagement and expanded local capacity. The selected offeror will support the development of industries around fair trade tree crops, fisheries, and bushmeat alternatives to create jobs and livelihoods at a scale sufficient to impact large areas and diverse populations. Coordinated efforts across government, private organizations, communities and CARPE partners will be required to establish a shared vision and coalition for green economic models as an engine for development and conservation in the region.
