The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is in the process of gathering information to inform an activity design in support of a potential Marine Biodiversity Conservation Activity. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to 1) solicit feedback on the attached draft concept and 2) identify qualified organizations capable of implementing the activity. This RFI intends to offer the opportunity for interested individuals and organizations to provide recommendations to help reduce threats to marine and coastal biodiversity in Tanzania while moving Tanzanian institutions further on their journey to self-reliance. The level of funding anticipated to be allocated for this activity is between $5 and $15 million over a 5-year implementation period.
