Opportunity Summary:
The "Endangered Ecosystem Northern Tanzania" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: RFI EENT TANZANIA) is a USAID/Tanzania notice tied to a planned natural resources program focused on supporting an endangered ecosystem in Northern Tanzania. Rather than being a full solicitation for proposals, it is issued as a Request for Information (RFI) meant to gather feedback from interested parties on a draft program description framework. In practical terms, USAID is signaling an intent to fund a future activity and is using this step to collect comments and perspectives that can help refine the program design before any formal competitive funding process moves forward.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and anticipates using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement by USAID during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, coordination, or other forms of partnership beyond what is common under a standard grant. The activity sits within the Natural Resources funding category, indicating that the expected work would likely relate to conservation, ecosystem protection, biodiversity, sustainable land management, or related environmental and resource-governance objectives in Northern Tanzania.
USAID expected a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $12,400,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, meaning applicants would not be required to contribute a defined percentage of the project cost as a condition of eligibility, though final requirements can vary depending on the eventual formal solicitation. The CFDA listing is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), placing the opportunity under USAID's overseas assistance authority.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may appear in the full text of the announcement. Key dates show the RFI was posted and created on February 4, 2015, with a closing date of February 16, 2015, and an archive date of March 18, 2015. The issuing agency is USAID/Tanzania, based in Dar es Salaam.
For access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Girma Debelu, Acquisition and Assistance Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 251 111 306002 (work).
