What the grant funds

The goal of the Nature Crime Addendum is to prevent and address illegal activities that harm wild species and natural ecosystems, threaten the lives and livelihoods of rural people, and degrade security at multiple levels. This goal will be advanced through support for policies, practices and systems that decrease international trade in protected wild species, keep illegally harvested fish, timber, and wildlife out of legal supply chains and business operations, and reduce illegal deforestation associated with key commodities. USAID expects Nature Crime responses to strengthen rule of law, promote justice, and protect human rights, and to have a transformative and catalytic impact on efforts to conserve biodiversity and mitigate climate change. To achieve this goal, USAID has identified five mutually reinforcing objectives based on leverage points prioritized through an iterative process of consultation and problem analysis led by the Agency’s Biodiversity Division. The Nature Crime Addendum issued under USAID's Justice, Rights, and Security (JRS) Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA22APS00007 is not a Request for Application (RFA) but rather a request for Concept Note(s) in response to this Addendum published under the JRS APS. To be competitive under this procurement, the Concept Note submission must be fully responsive to all directions under this Addendum and the JRS APS. Based on the submitted Concept Note, DDI/EEI/Biodiversity will determine whether to request a Full Application from an eligible organization. Applicant(s) should not submit a Full Application unless an invitation to do so by USAID is received. USAID intends to issue up to three (3) assistance awards through the Nature Crime Addendum: however, issuance of this Addendum does not constitute an award or commitment from the U.S. Government to make an award, nor does it commit the U.S. Government to pay for costs incurred in the preparation and submission of a Concept Note and/or Application(s). The actual number of assistance awards, if any, is subject to the availability of funds, as well as the viability of eventual Concept Note(s) and/or Full Application(s) received in response to an invitation from USAID.
