What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

Through this Addendum No. 10 to the Locally Led Development Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA19APS00007 USAID/Guatemala is making a special call to local actors for the submission of concepts to be considered for a co-creation[1] of award(s) focused on Biodiversity Conservation in Key Protected Areas in Guatemala. This five-year, $25 million activity [1] or activities will build national capacity to improve management and governance throughout Guatemala’s System of Protected Areas (SIGAP) and implement interventions in three priority land and seascapes. This will respond to the needs of high priority biodiversity sites in Guatemala while generating nature-based sustainable sources of income while reducing economic and/or security drivers of irregular migration.[2]

 This will be implemented primarily with congressionally mandated biodiversity conservation funds and potentially future climate change funds for sustainable landscapes.

Unless otherwise stated herein, all terms and conditions of the Locally Led Development APS apply (https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=314757).
