The USAID’s Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (USAID/DRC) is seeking applications to support community-based counter-wildlife trafficking efforts in Central Africa. All funds are expected to be earmarked for biodiversity conservation, with a portion of these also directed for combating wildlife trafficking (CWT). In order to ensure USAID meets the intentions of legislation in support of biodiversity conservation, the Agency has a “Biodiversity Code” that defines four criteria required of programs which use funds appropriated for biodiversity. The four criteria are: 1. The program must have an explicit biodiversity objective; it is not enough to have biodiversity conservation result as a positive externality from another program; 2. Activities must be identified based on an analysis of drivers and threats to biodiversity and a corresponding theory of change; 3. Site-based programs must have the intent to positively impact biodiversity in biologically significant areas; and, 4. The program must monitor indicators associated with a stated theory of change for biodiversity conservation results.
Applications must show consistency with the above Biodiversity Code.
