Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Project Management and Technical Assistance for Environmental Programs in Morocco" (Funding Opportunity Number EPA OITA 2011 006), was issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through its Office of International and Tribal Affairs under CFDA 66.931, which covers international financial assistance projects. It was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would not simply receive funds to operate independently, but would be expected to work closely with EPA in planning, coordinating, and delivering the project activities. The overall purpose is to provide project management support for assistance to Morocco's environmental programs, with an emphasis on strengthening the country's environmental governance and institutional capacity.
The core focus of the project is capacity building and technical assistance aimed at improving Morocco's environmental framework across all major environmental media: air, water, and waste. The opportunity highlights three central themes: improving the foundation of environmental legislation and regulations, strengthening enforcement and compliance with environmental laws, and increasing transparency in environmental decision-making. In practical terms, this points to work such as helping Moroccan counterparts improve how environmental rules are developed and updated, how compliance is monitored and enforced, and how decisions are communicated and made more open to scrutiny or public understanding.
The recipient would be expected to support EPA in designing and carrying out a set of technical assistance and capacity-building projects and activities specifically for Morocco's Departments of Water and Environment. While the announcement summary does not list every activity, the framing suggests a role that combines program coordination, stakeholder engagement, planning and oversight of technical work, and ensuring that training, advisory services, and institutional strengthening efforts are delivered effectively. Because it is described as project management assistance, the awardee would likely serve as an organizing hub, helping translate broad goals into workplans, schedules, deliverables, and measurable results, while coordinating closely with EPA and Moroccan government counterparts.
In terms of funding, EPA anticipated making one award under this opportunity. The estimated total funding was $1,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $400,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted on August 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of October 7, 2011, and an archive date of November 6, 2011. The notice also advises applicants to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for specific submission instructions, methods, and deadline details.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with applicants directed to review Section III of the full announcement for the precise eligibility requirements and any clarifications. For prospective applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the point of contact provided was Shereen Kandil at (202) 564-6433.
