Opportunity Information: Apply for 720 621 18 RFA 00003
The "Landscape Conservation in Western Tanzania Activity" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 720 621 18 RFA 00003) is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Environment program area (CFDA 98.001). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the awardee is expected to work closely with USAID during implementation, with substantial involvement from the agency in planning, oversight, and key technical or programmatic decisions compared with a more hands-off grant. The opportunity was posted on July 11, 2018, and the original application deadline was August 10, 2018.
The activity title indicates a focus on landscape-level conservation outcomes in Western Tanzania. While the posting itself points applicants to the formal Request for Applications (RFA) for the detailed scope and requirements, the framing suggests an integrated approach that typically connects biodiversity conservation with broader land and resource management across large geographic areas. In practice, landscape conservation activities often involve strengthening the management of protected and conserved areas, improving coordination among government, communities, and private-sector actors, supporting sustainable livelihoods that reduce pressure on natural habitats, and addressing drivers of habitat loss such as unsustainable harvesting, land conversion, and wildlife crime. Western Tanzania is commonly associated with globally important ecosystems and wildlife corridors, so a landscape approach usually emphasizes maintaining ecological connectivity, protecting critical habitats, and improving governance across administrative boundaries rather than focusing on a single site.
USAID listed the anticipated number of awards as four, implying that multiple implementers or consortia could be selected, potentially to work in different landscapes, apply different technical approaches, or cover complementary components under the broader initiative. The notice shows an award ceiling of "0," which typically signals that a fixed maximum was not specified in the summary metadata and that applicants needed to consult the RFA for the expected funding range, budgeting constraints, and the period of performance. Eligibility is summarized as "Others," with clarification deferred to the RFA section on eligibility, which commonly spells out whether eligibility is limited to certain types of organizations (for example, non-profits, NGOs, universities, or for-profit entities), whether consortia are allowed, and what rules apply to local versus international applicants.
Overall, this opportunity represents a USAID-funded conservation initiative intended to support measurable environmental outcomes in Western Tanzania through a cooperative partnership model, with competition timing in mid-2018 and an expectation that several awards would be made to advance landscape-scale conservation objectives as defined in the full RFA.Apply for 720 621 18 RFA 00003
