The USAID/LAC Bureau is offering the Phase II Initiative for Conservation in the Andean Amazon (ICAA II) grant program. This grant is for landscape-level program proposals aimed at reducing deforestation and biodiversity loss, enhancing natural resource governance, and improving livelihood quality and sustainability in the Andean Amazon.

Applications are invited from U.S. and non-U.S. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), educational institutions, partnerships, and consortia. Proposed activities must clearly demonstrate how they will contribute to improving biologically significant areas, including measurable performance indicators. Funding decisions depend on technical review and availability of funds.
