Opportunity Summary:
The USAID Philippines Conservation of Biodiversity and Management of Natural Resources APS FY09 is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by USAID/Philippines (USAID Manila) to support projects focused on conserving biodiversity and improving the management of natural resources in the Philippines. It is structured as an Annual Program Statement (APS), meaning USAID is soliciting proposals for activities that fit within a broader program area rather than funding a single narrowly defined project. Awards are expected to be made primarily through cooperative agreements, which typically involve substantial engagement by USAID during implementation compared with a standard grant.
Eligibility is broad. Applications are invited from U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, explicitly including Philippine entities, and both nonprofit and for-profit organizations may apply. The listing flags that eligibility details are further clarified in an additional information section within the full APS, but the core message is that a wide range of organizational types can compete as long as they can carry out the required conservation and natural resource management activities and meet USAID requirements.
The APS indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to contribute resources toward the proposed activities, whether through cash, in-kind contributions, or other allowable forms as described in the full announcement and USAID policy. Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of USD 4,000,000 across the APS. Individual awards are expected to range from a minimum (floor) of USD 100,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of USD 2,000,000, suggesting USAID anticipated supporting multiple awards of varying sizes rather than a single large project.
Key timeline information shows the opportunity was posted and created on February 3, 2009. The original closing date was September 30, 2009, and the current closing date is listed as October 1, 2009, indicating the submission window was extended slightly. The funding activity category is Natural Resources and the CFDA number is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the common assistance listing used for many USAID overseas program awards.
