About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs is seeking applicants for the Western Hemisphere Cities Forward Program, a cooperative agreement focused on providing technical assistance to Latin American and Caribbean cities to help them address sustainability, equity, and resilience challenges. The program will have three interconnected phases - establishing city-to-city connections, developing sustainability action plans, and supporting implementation of the action plans. Eligible applicants are U.S.-based non-profit and for-profit entities, who must provide cost-sharing or matching funds. The application deadline is March 8, 2023, and the evaluation criteria will assess the applicant's technical approach, management plan, and cost effectiveness.
The total funding available is $3,950,000 (FY 2022), with a single cooperative agreement anticipated. The period of performance is three years, and the anticipated award date is March 29, 2023, pending availability of funds. The program is authorized under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and aligns with the U.S. government's foreign policy priorities.
