[Ngo Climate Change] FW: REO - Request for Proposals

[Nguyen, Tu Thanh (Hanoi)]

Dear all:

 

Now comes again the time for the US Embassy to request proposals for
potential environmental projects. If you are interested in this, please
take action as soon as you can. If you have any questions, feel free to
contact me. Thank you

 

Regards

Nguyen Thanh Tu

ESTH Assistant

US Embassy- Hanoi

 

 

The Regional Environment Office (REO) in Bangkok is now requesting
proposals for potential environmental projects.  The purpose of the REO
small grant program is to support environmental projects or initiatives
in the East Asia Pacific region that demonstrate potential applications
that could be employed on a macro level.  

 

Grant proposals must be less than $25,000 and may be either single
country focused or multinational in scope.  Preference will be given to
projects that:  1) are from countries without current broadly based
bilateral assistance programs in the environmental area; 2) are
multinational or regional in nature, although bilateral proposals with
high potential for replication in the region will also be considered;
and 3) lend themselves more readily to public diplomacy campaigns, or
that have some high visibility to the local public.  Given that these
grants are intended to support areas otherwise lacking in funds or
attention, they should not be directed towards existing multi-donor or
larger scale projects.  Proposals in which a foreign government
(including regional, municipal, or other local level government) is a
grantee or intended beneficiary of the award will not be considered.

 

If you are interested in this opportunity, please see the instructions
below for submitting a proposal:

 

1)      Fill out the SF-424 application form (attached) - Make sure you
fill out the document as completely as possible.  Instructions on how to
complete the application are located on pages 5-6 of the form. 

 

2)      Write a 1-3 page proposal for the program your organization
intends to carry out - Proposals should provide background on the
environmental problem and present a comprehensible approach to
addressing the issue.  Applicants should demonstrate any relevant
experience in their proposals.  For previously funded projects seeking
to expand or extend their period of performance for another year,
required prior year performance and financial reports must have been
submitted.  These will be reviewed in order to determine whether these
projects have met their goals and to ascertain whether funds were
properly spent and accounted for.  We will also examine whether the
project has managed to attract other contributions or moved towards
becoming self-sustaining.   

3)      Create a 1-page maximum line item budget proposal - Budgets
should be kept to $24,999.  You can submit a budget proposal in a word
document or excel spreadsheet.

 

Submit all three documents (SF 424 application, Proposal, and Budget) to
Rick Switzer at switzerbr at state.gov or to Katie Yates at 
YatesKL at state.gov.  Please ensure all instructions are followed closely.

 

The deadline to submit all documents is March 15, 2013.  We welcome
early submissions.
