Opportunity Information: Apply for 72038819RFA00003
Local Works Bangladesh Activities (Funding Opportunity No. 72038819RFA00003) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), created on May 1, 2019, with an original application deadline of June 11, 2019. The program is designed for areas of Bangladesh heavily affected by the Rohingya displacement, where the rapid arrival of nearly one million refugees placed intense pressure on local land, forests, water, and other natural systems. The core aim is to support locally driven efforts that protect, restore, and better manage natural resources in and around host communities and displacement-affected zones.
The opportunity focuses on enabling local partners to lead practical conservation and rehabilitation activities that reduce environmental degradation linked to the refugee influx. In this context, "conserve and rehabilitate" generally points to actions like restoring damaged landscapes, improving land and water management, protecting remaining natural habitats, and reducing unsustainable resource extraction that can surge when large populations require shelter materials, fuel, and basic services. The underlying intent is to lessen the environmental footprint of the crisis while also strengthening the resilience of surrounding communities as they cope with the sudden strain on local ecosystems.
USAID expects to make approximately three awards, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award. The listing notes the funding instrument type as "Other" and categorizes the activity under "Business and Commerce," with CFDA number 98.001. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with the specific details intended to be clarified in the notice's additional eligibility information section. Overall, the grant is structured to channel resources toward local actors in Bangladesh who can implement environmentally focused interventions that both mitigate immediate harms from displacement and help communities manage ongoing pressures in a more sustainable way.Apply for 72038819RFA00003
