OpportunityTitle: A Program on International Shared Waters Cooperation
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: U.S. Non-profit/non-governmental organizations (NGOs) having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, or overseas-based non-profit/non-governmental organizations, U.S. or overseas private/state institutions of higher education, and public international organizations.
Description: A Cooperative Agreement for up to $950,000 U.S. Dollars (USD) in FY 2019 Economic Support Funds (ESF) awarded for a multi-donor partnership mechanism to support cooperation on shared waters that leverages U.S. diplomatic and financial support, promotes coordination between development partners on shared waters, and ensures the sustainability of the programs beyond the period of U.S. support. The program on international water cooperation will improve coordination and cooperation over shared waters in regions where water is, or may become, a source of conflict. The program&#8217;s goal is to build political will and advance cooperative processes on shared waters where the lack of political commitment/engagement is an impediment to cooperative action. Meeting this goal will increase shared prosperity and regional security. The initial period of performance will be for three years (36 months). Funding authority rests in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended.
