Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS AF DRC PDS FY23 03
The "Congo Basin Conclave" is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (U.S. Embassy Kinshasa). It is a discretionary funding opportunity intended to support the planning, organization, and full logistical execution of a regional conclave that convenes key actors focused on protecting the Congo Basin while also advancing economic opportunities for communities that depend on the region's natural resources. In practical terms, the award is aimed less at funding long-term conservation programming and more at enabling a well-run, multi-country convening that can connect stakeholders, elevate shared priorities, and strengthen coordination around conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
The activity is expected to take place across a defined priority region centered on Congo Basin countries and capitals: Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo), Brazzaville (Republic of the Congo), Yaounde (Cameroon), Libreville (Gabon), and Malabo (Equatorial Guinea). The conclave is meant to bring together a mix of participants who are actively engaged in Congo Basin preservation and related economic development, such as government counterparts, civil society and non-governmental organizations, technical experts, community-focused groups, and other relevant stakeholders operating in or supporting the region.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates that the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation (for example, coordination on agenda objectives, speakers, deliverables, or visibility). The opportunity lists one anticipated award with a maximum (ceiling) of $250,000, signaling that the selected applicant will likely be the primary organizer responsible for delivering the conclave end-to-end. The opportunity falls under CFDA 19.040, and the funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating the work is specialized and centered on convening and logistics rather than a standard sector program label.
The competition was created on March 22, 2023, with an original application deadline of May 22, 2023. Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others," with additional eligibility conditions referenced in the full notice. Overall, the grant is best understood as support for a high-impact regional event that strengthens collaboration among Congo Basin stakeholders and helps align conservation priorities with practical, community-linked economic pathways.Apply for DOS AF DRC PDS FY23 03
