Opportunity Information: Apply for 72088720 PACIFIC RFI 00003
The Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands Forest Governance Program (Funding Opportunity No. 72088720 PACIFIC RFI 00003) is a USAID-issued Request for Information (RFI) released by the Agency for International Development, USAID-Manila (the Mission serving the Philippines, Pacific Islands, and Mongolia). Rather than being a finalized solicitation for immediate funding, the notice is positioned as a market and context research step that USAID uses to gather practical, on-the-ground insight from organizations with relevant experience. The central purpose is to strengthen USAID's understanding of the forest and land management landscape in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, including the governance, operational, and implementation realities that would affect a future sustainable landscapes or forest governance activity.
USAID is specifically looking for input from capable entities that are currently implementing, or have previously implemented, sustainable landscapes activities. The RFI explicitly welcomes a broad set of organization types, including nongovernmental organizations, universities, consortia, and for-profit organizations. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that any additional eligibility clarifications would be contained in the full text of the notice. The activity category is Environment, and it is associated with CFDA number 98.001, indicating it falls under USAID's assistance framework.
Although this is an RFI (and therefore typically not a commitment to award funds), the posting provides several planning signals about the possible scale and structure of a future effort. USAID lists an award ceiling of up to USD 10,000,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The funding instrument type is labeled "Other," which can indicate flexibility in how USAID might structure any subsequent procurement or assistance mechanism, depending on what it learns through the information-gathering process. In practical terms, respondents are being asked to share experience and insights that can help USAID shape a more effective program design for forest governance and land management in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, including what approaches are feasible, what constraints commonly arise, and what partnerships or implementation models have been successful in comparable settings.
Key administrative details include a creation date of March 30, 2020, and an original closing date of April 20, 2020. Taken together, the opportunity is best understood as a call for informed input from the field to help USAID refine its understanding of needs, risks, opportunities, and potential interventions related to sustainable landscapes, forest governance, and land management in the two target countries, before moving toward a formal competitive funding opportunity.Apply for 72088720 PACIFIC RFI 00003
