About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) International Affairs Program is seeking applicants for a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under the Central Africa Regional Program. The purpose of this NOFO is to address the threat of unsustainable and illegal urban trade of protected species in Central Africa. Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign non-profits, NGOs, community/Indigenous organizations, and academic institutions. The application should address three key objectives: 1) improving wild meat governance at national, regional, and international levels, 2) expanding the evidence base for reducing the illegal bushmeat trade, and 3) increasing individual capacity in Central Africa for governance and evidence-building activities. Applications will be evaluated on the extent to which they meet these objectives. The application deadline is November 18, 2024.
The FWS plans to award 1-2 cooperative agreements or grants ranging from $400,000 to $2,000,000 over 2-5 years. The awards are expected to be announced by April 28, 2025. The federal grant program under which this opportunity is funded is the Central Africa Regional Program (CFDA 15.651), administered by the FWS International Affairs Program.
Synopsis
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) mission is to work with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The International Affairs Program (IA) delivers this mission through its financial assistance programs by supporting strategic projects that deliver measurable conservation results for priority species and their habitats around the world. The Central Africa Program is administered by the Africa Branch of FWS/IA and focuses on developing the capacity of protected area and conservation managers, at multiple levels of implementation, to sustain healthy wildlife populations and benefit those communities with which they co-exist. One of the greatest threats to the wildlife populations in Central Africa is the unsustainable commercialization and trafficking of meat illegally harvested from wild populations of protected species for trade and consumption in cities. In support of the overall Central Africa Program goal and in combination with other strategies, the purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to address the threat of the unsustainable urban trade of protected species.
