Through this Addendum to the Locally Led Development Annual Program Statement (APS) No.
7200AA19APS00007 USAID/Vietnam is making a special call to local actors for the submission of concept papers focused on enhancing countering wildlife trafficking law enforcement; increasing political will and
securing commitments from the Government of Vietnam (GVN) to address wildlife trafficking; and reducing consumer demand for illegal wildlife products at provincial level.
The goal of this activity is to support the GVN in reducing wildlife trafficking and illegal wildlife consumption and in strengthening partnerships between local organizations and the GVN at provincial level to counter wildlife trafficking.
The activity is also intended to contribute to the following higher-level outcomes:
increased arrests and prosecutions for illegal wildlife trafficking and reduced consumer demand for illegal wildlife products.
Subject to the availability of funds, USAID may allocate up to USD $3,200,000 to make multiple awards (not expected to exceed $ 1. 5 million each, likely less) to one or multiple applicants.
The proposed period of performance of each activity is for up to three years.
Each applicant is limited to one concept paper submission under this announcement.
Each concept paper may address all or at a minimum one of the three objectives.
