What the grant funds

The Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs’ (OES) Office of Environmental Quality (ENV) at the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announces this Notice of Funding Opportunity (“NOFO”) for “Facilitating a multi-organizational approach to formalizing artisanal and small-scale gold mining.” A Cooperative Agreement for up to $490,000 U.S. Dollars (USD) in FY 2020 Economic Support Funds (ESF) will be awarded, subject to the availability of funds, for work that will support the formalization of the artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) sectors. Shifting ASGM to the formal economic sector is critical for reducing mercury use and release. OES seeks an organization with very strong facilitation and leadership skills that can work with international organizations, non-government organizations, local and national governments, and other stakeholders to develop one or more projects and, if funds allow, coordinate and launch the implementation of the project. The period of performance is two (2) years. Funding authority rests in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended
