Opportunity Summary:
The Regional Climate Change Program is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by USAID in El Salvador under its E-CAM Regional Strategy, which covers El Salvador, Central America, and Mexico. USAID is inviting organizations to submit applications to design and implement a multi-year regional climate change program that supports the broader development objectives of USAID Missions operating under this regional strategy. The program is planned for a 60-month period, signaling a long-term implementation effort rather than a short pilot or one-off activity, and it is framed within the environment sector with an emphasis on climate change-related regional priorities.
Funding would be provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on planning, technical direction, approvals, and monitoring), as opposed to a more hands-off grant. USAID anticipates making a single award under this solicitation, so applicants would be competing for one primary implementing partner role. The total estimated funding range is significant: the award floor is $15,000,000 and the award ceiling is $19,000,000, indicating USAID is looking for a well-resourced, experienced organization or consortium capable of managing a complex regional portfolio across multiple countries and stakeholders. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the announcement terms.
The opportunity is open to unrestricted eligible applicants, meaning it is broadly available to any type of entity (such as NGOs, for-profits, universities, or other qualified organizations), subject to any additional eligibility conditions described in the full solicitation text. The listing is associated with CFDA 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance for programs overseas, reflecting its international development context and USAID overseas programming authorities.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number USAID RFA 596-12-000001 and titled "Regional Climate Change Program." It was originally posted on October 12, 2012, with an original closing date of December 3, 2012, but the deadline was later extended. The final closing date listed is January 8, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. El Salvador time. The record was later archived on April 16, 2013. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact person listed was Ileana Parraga, Acquisition and Assistance Specialist at USAID San Salvador, with phone number +503 2501 3327.
