IUCN OPENS A NEW CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR TIGER CONSERVATION!
Call opens October 15th 2014
A new Integrated Tiger Habitat Conservation Programme (ITHCP) managed by IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, is being initiated thanks to a 20 million euro grant from the German government through the KfW Development Bank. The aim of this new fund is to increase the number of tigers in the wild and improve the livelihoods of communities living in and around key tiger habitats.
Through this five-year programme, IUCN will provide funding that will benefit NGOs and conservation authorities from selected tiger range countries which, at the St Petersburg Tiger Summit in 2010, committed to doubling the number of tigers occurring within their territories by 2020. Eligible countries include Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal and Vietnam.
The Programme seeks to invest in projects that involve improving the management of tiger habitats, tackling tiger-human conflicts, increasing anti-poaching and law enforcement efforts and involving local communities in tiger conservation. While improving and managing tiger habitats, it will support the livelihoods of local communities who depends on the diverse range of natural resources found in these key areas.
The size of grants offered in the first call for proposals will range from EUR 700.000 to EUR 2 million. The average duration of individual projects is expected to be approximately 3-4 years.
We kindly recommend that interested organizations read the "Detailed Instructions for Applicants" below carefully before applying.
There is a link to the ITHCP Application Portal at the bottom of this page ("Apply here" button). All applicants are required to create an account on the portal and they will then be able to apply online. On this portal, applicants will upload and submit their completed concept notes together with other documentation.
