Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Partnerships for Forest Conservation Pilot Project(s) to Implement the Non Legally Binding Instrument on all types of Forests (NLBI)" is a discretionary grant program released by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs. It is designed to fund a single pilot effort that helps move the Non-Legally Binding Instrument on All Types of Forests (NLBI) from broad international commitments into practical, on-the-ground action. The core aim is to support regional and local initiatives that can clearly demonstrate a strong commitment to conserving tropical forests while also promoting the sustainable use of forest resources and forest products.
In practical terms, the program is looking for projects that blend conservation outcomes with governance and policy improvement. The announcement emphasizes three main activity areas: raising awareness about forest conservation and NLBI-related commitments, assessing existing forest-related policies at the country level, and building national capacity to follow through on those commitments. That capacity-building focus explicitly includes work tied to strengthening forest-related legislation, improving forest law enforcement, and advancing forest governance. The overall intent is not just to fund a conservation project in isolation, but to support interventions that help countries and stakeholders better understand what the NLBI calls for and develop the tools, institutions, and policy environment needed to implement those principles more effectively.
The opportunity is structured as a grant under an environment funding activity category, with an expected total funding amount of $99,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $99,000, which signals the agency anticipated making one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. Consistent with that, the expected number of awards is one. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants could still propose leveraged support or in-kind contributions if it strengthens the project design.
Eligibility is relatively broad but targeted toward organizations with the technical and institutional capacity to run international or multi-stakeholder forest initiatives. Eligible applicants may include non-governmental organizations, research institutions, international or regional organizations, and universities. The listing categorizes eligibility as "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility information, which is common in government postings when the eligible universe does not fit into a single standard applicant type.
The timeline for this funding round is short and reflects a 2009 posting: it was posted on June 4, 2009, with an application deadline of June 26, 2009, and an archive date of July 26, 2009. While the original and current closing dates are the same (June 26, 2009), the archived status indicates it is no longer accepting applications. The funding opportunity number is S OES 09 RFA 0016, and it is associated with a placeholder CFDA number of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which sometimes appears for programs that do not align neatly with an existing CFDA listing or where the posting system uses a generic entry.
