The Fund will run from 2022 to 2029. The Authority is currently seeking to fund projects in the following landscapes: · Andes Amazon, covering areas of Ecuador and Peru; · The Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (KAZA), covering areas of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe; · Lower Mekong, covering areas of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam; · Mesoamerica, covering areas of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras; and · Western Congo Basin, covering areas of Cameroon, Gabon and Republic of Congo Applications will open on different dates depending on the landscape. · Lower Mekong: Applications already open. · KAZA and Mesoamerica: Applications will open 1 August 2022. · Andes Amazon and Western Congo Basin: Applications will be launched in August. Launch dates for these landscapes will be confirmed in a subsequent notice. More information will be available on the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund application portal on the day of launch: [biodiverse-landscapes-fund.my.site.com/blf/s](https://biodiverse-landscapes-fund.my.site.com/blf/s/) ### Who can apply for the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund The Authority expects potential Delivery Partners to form consortia and submit grouped applications under a single Lead Delivery Partner for each Landscape. Applicants eligible to apply include, but are not limited to: · Nongovernmental Organisations (NGOs) · Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) · Private sector partners · Multilateral organisations including UN Bodies · Social development organisations · Academic institutions BLF funding cannot be awarded to governments or parastatal organisations. Governments and parastatal bodies may not therefore apply as either a lead delivery partner, or a consortium member. ### CONTACT DETAILS For more information on the Biodiverse Landscapes Fund and the grant competitions, please contact [uk\_biodiverse\_landscapes\_fund@pwc.com](mailto:uk_biodiverse_landscapes_fund@pwc.com) Read full description ## CPV classification Environmental management Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/f0701abb-2c8c-48b4-a47d-0cbab6e58a75) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
