Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052721RFI00001
The opportunity titled "Unsustainable and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in marine environments along the coasts of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia" (Funding Opportunity Number 72052721RFI00001) is not a traditional grant competition. It is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by USAID/Peru (USAID-Lima) under its Regional Environment Program. In practical terms, USAID is using this notice to collect insights, data, and perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders to better understand the scope and drivers of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the marine waters off Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, as well as to understand how current fisheries management systems and practices affect the problem.
Because this is an RFI, the main purpose is market and stakeholder intelligence rather than immediate funding. USAID is looking for informed input that can help it define the development challenges more clearly, identify gaps in existing approaches, and shape future programming or potential solicitations. The agency frames this work within its broader "Journey to Self-Reliance" approach, meaning it is especially interested in information that clarifies what prevents host-country institutions and partners from effectively managing fisheries resources, enforcing rules, monitoring fishing activity, and sustaining long-term governance improvements without heavy external support.
The RFI specifically seeks information on (1) the development problems surrounding IUU fishing in the tri-country context of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia, and (2) the current marine fisheries management practices that influence IUU fishing outcomes. That includes the realities on the water and in ports, the incentives that enable illegal or unreported activity, enforcement and compliance challenges, and how policy, regulation, interagency coordination, and regional cooperation either help or hinder efforts to curb IUU fishing. While the notice does not list detailed question prompts in the excerpt provided, USAID signals interest in actionable, on-the-ground perspectives from actors who see the problem directly or work on related solutions.
Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," which is consistent with an information-gathering exercise rather than an award. USAID explicitly invites responses from private sector entities, non-governmental organizations, civil society, and other interested parties. This broad outreach suggests the agency wants a cross-section of viewpoints, such as those from fisheries and seafood supply chain companies, technology and monitoring providers, coastal community organizations, environmental groups, researchers, and institutions involved in fisheries governance and enforcement.
Several administrative details reinforce that this is not a funding announcement. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," the award ceiling is shown as 0, and the number of expected awards is not specified. The opportunity category is labeled "Earmark," the activity category is "Environment," and the CFDA number is 98.001. The notice was created on 2020-11-13, with an original closing date of 2020-12-13. In effect, USAID was setting a one-month window to receive information from the field and from relevant sectors.
Overall, the opportunity can be summarized as a targeted consultation process led by USAID/Peru to map the IUU fishing challenge along the Pacific coasts of Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia and to assess how fisheries management practices contribute to or can address that challenge. Organizations and individuals were being asked to submit substantive input that could inform USAID planning, partnerships, and potential future interventions focused on sustainable fisheries, improved marine governance, and stronger regional capacity to deter and respond to IUU fishing.Apply for 72052721RFI00001
