Opportunity Information: Apply for 72060518RFA00002
USAID released a Request for Applications (RFA) for a cooperative agreement called the "USAID-Funded Community Based Counter Wildlife Trafficking Activity." The opportunity was issued on January 3, 2018, with a deadline for applicant questions of January 19, 2018 (by 1700 Kinshasa time) and a final application deadline of February 7, 2018 (also by 1700 Kinshasa time). The funding opportunity number is 72060518RFA00002, and it is listed under CFDA 98.001 with an activity category labeled "Other." The instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee should expect ongoing involvement from USAID during implementation rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The competition is open to both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations and is described as unrestricted in terms of eligibility, as long as applicants meet the standards and provide the required information outlined in the RFA (notably in Section C). USAID indicates that, assuming funds are available, it intends to make an award to the applicant whose proposal best aligns with the stated objectives and meets the selection criteria in the solicitation. While USAID anticipates making one award, it explicitly reserves the right to fund more than one, or none at all, depending on what it receives and broader funding realities.
In terms of funding size, the notice lists an award ceiling of up to $10,000,000. The application package and any subsequent amendments are posted on Grants.gov, and applicants are expected to monitor that site for updates. USAID also flags practical submission issues: applicants may need Adobe software to work with required forms, and it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure they have the complete and correct RFA materials after downloading. For technical problems related to Grants.gov registration or accessing documents, applicants are directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk by phone or email.
Operationally, the selected recipient would be responsible for delivering the activity's objectives related to community-based efforts to counter wildlife trafficking, with performance judged against the RFA's objectives and evaluation criteria. Questions submitted before the question deadline would be answered through an amendment posted to Grants.gov so all prospective applicants receive the same information. Finally, USAID emphasizes standard federal solicitation conditions: publishing the RFA does not guarantee an award, does not commit the U.S. Government to reimburse proposal preparation costs, and applicants assume all costs and risks associated with preparing and submitting an application.Apply for 72060518RFA00002
