Whether the entity is majority owned and controlled by individuals who are citizens or lawful permanent residents of Guatemala; andd. Whether the entity is managed by a governing body, the majority of whom are citizens or lawful permanent residents of Guatemala. 2. Cannot have received more than $5 million in direct funding from USAID in the past five years. 3. Cannot be a U.S.-based organization. U.S.-based organizations are not eligible as prime awardees under this APS.

What the grant funds

Through this Addendum No. 10 to the Locally Led Development Annual Program Statement (APS) No. 7200AA19APS00007 USAID/Guatemala is making a special call to local actors for the submission of concepts to be considered for a co-creation[1] of award(s) focused on Biodiversity Conservation in Key Protected Areas in Guatemala. This five-year, $25 million activity [1] or activities will build national capacity to improve management and governance throughout Guatemala’s System of Protected Areas (SIGAP) and implement interventions in three priority land and seascapes. This will respond to the needs of high priority biodiversity sites in Guatemala while generating nature-based sustainable sources of income while reducing economic and/or security drivers of irregular migration.[2] This will be implemented primarily with congressionally mandated biodiversity conservation funds and potentially future climate change funds for sustainable landscapes. Unless otherwise stated herein, all terms and conditions of the Locally Led Development APS apply (https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=314757).
