Opportunity Information: Apply for LIBREVILLE CLIM01 2024
The U.S. Embassy in Libreville (U.S. Department of State) is offering a discretionary grant under Economic Support Funds (ESF) for a single project focused on mangrove conservation and restoration in Gabon, specifically in Estuaire province. The opportunity is titled "State/African Regional - Other Economic Support Funds (ESF) Projects/Programs: Mangroves Rehabilitation Project in Gabon" (Funding Opportunity Number: LIBREVILLE CLIM01 2024) and sits in the Environment funding activity category under CFDA 19.989. The overall purpose is to help local communities better manage mangrove ecosystems using conservation and climate-mitigation best practices, while also rehabilitating mangrove areas that have already been damaged.
The program is built around three connected objectives. First, it aims to rehabilitate critical mangrove zones through reforestation and replanting, with an emphasis on areas that matter most for flood prevention. This includes identifying deforested or degraded mangrove sites that are especially important for reducing flood risk and then working directly with local communities to organize and carry out mangrove tree planting. Second, the project requires an awareness and education campaign targeted at the same communities where critical mangrove areas are identified. Once priority sites are selected, the implementer is expected to launch outreach that explains the ecosystem benefits of mangroves and makes the case for protection in practical terms, including economic and security-related reasons (for example, how mangroves support fisheries and livelihoods, stabilize shorelines, reduce storm and flooding impacts, and contribute to climate resilience). Third, the project includes a policy and governance component: preparatory work in partnership with the Gabonese Ministry of Environment, civil society, and local NGOs to support the adoption of a law aimed at protecting, preserving, and restoring mangrove ecosystems in Gabon. The implementer is expected to convene a working group that includes NGOs, civil society actors, scientists, and government representatives to review gaps in existing legal frameworks, draft a proposed law or legal improvements to address those weaknesses, and facilitate presenting the resulting proposal to the appropriate government authorities for consideration.
The activity sequence is clearly spelled out as a practical rollout plan: (1) identify the most critical deforested mangrove areas and coordinate community-based planting efforts; (2) begin the education and sensitization campaign in the communities associated with those priority zones after the sites are identified; and (3) organize and run the multi-stakeholder working group process to develop and advance a strengthened legal framework for mangrove protection. Taken together, the opportunity blends on-the-ground restoration, community behavior change and stewardship, and longer-term institutional/legal reinforcement so that rehabilitation efforts are supported by local buy-in and improved national protection mechanisms.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $100,000, and the Embassy anticipates making one award. The original application closing date listed is 2024-08-01, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of 2024-06-18. Eligible applicants include not-for-profit organizations (including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations), public and private educational institutions, and public international organizations and governmental institutions.
