Wildlife Without Borders - Africa Regional Program

Central Africa is a globally important region for forest and biodiversity conservation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) works closely with national governments, U.S. agencies, and a range of other partners to ensure a strategic, results-based approach to wildlife stewardship in the region. In collaboration with the U.S. Agency for International Development⿿s (USAID) Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE), USFWS is providing this funding opportunity to reduce pressures on key wildlife populations, and to provide training to develop the requisite individual and institutional capacity for durable, long-term conservation success. Please see A Results-Based Vision for Conservation in Central Africa for greater detail on USFWS⿿ approach to wildlife conservation in Central Africa that seeks to secure wildlife and strengthen capacity for better wildlife management. Funding will only be considered for projects that impact wildlife populations in the 10 Commission of Central African Forests (COMIFAC) countries: Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
