Announcement Description

PURPOSE, GOALS, AND DELIVERABLES

Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to solicit full grant applications from qualified, eligible, and interested organizations for funding available through the USAID Cambodia Green Future Activity. The Project seeks to support civil society organizations (CSOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), research institutions, or community groups to undertake these capacity building initiatives ultimately to promote change in the Cambodian population’s behavior and perceptions about their environment. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their grant application describing their approaches to designing and conducting capacity building initiatives in a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant/Realistic, and Time-bound) manner.

Activities, in all forms, shall focus on skills building for the Project’s existing partner organizations as well as its youth groups, as they lead and facilitate implementation of grant activities that address reducing bushmeat demand and consumption, preventing buying timber and timber furniture, and avoiding littering in Cambodia. Activities can be implemented nationwide, in Phnom Penh, in the Prey Lang and Eastern Plains landscapes.

This grant activity aims to work with the Project’s existing partner organizations as well as 200-250 youth participants, the final number to be determined during co-creation between the selected applicant and the Project team.

The Project team will provide technical support and guidance throughout the life of grant implementation, including access to the capacity building materials developed under the Project. This engagement will support the Project’s existing grantees and youth Green Group members to increase their social and behavior change communications (SBCC) capacity to strategically and impactfully communicate about biodiversity conservation, forest protection, and improved natural resource management.
