Forest Incomes for Environmental Sustainability

The United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) mission in the Republic of Liberia (USAID/Liberia) intends to award a Cooperative Agreement to implement the “Forest Incomes For Environmental Sustainability (FIFES)” Program. The goal of FIFES is to develop key rural forest-based enterprises which provide inclusive, sustainable economic opportunities for small holders and communities that combat drivers of deforestation and biodiversity loss. The estimated period of performance is approximately five years from the effective date of the agreement. This program will be implemented jointly under the United States Government’s (USG) Private Enterprise and Biodiversity Initiatives.
