**CLOSED** Call for Proposals – PACT CIS 2022/23 Transition Plan

The Protected Areas Conservation Trust has developed a CIS 2022/23 Transition Plan which will guide PACT through its transition from its current Conservation Investment Strategy cycle to the next, in areas where it is expected to have a positive, measurable environmental impact and at the same time leverage finances for the Belize National Protected Areas System (BNPAS). The plan identifies PACT’s strategic direction in financing activities that will develop independent streams of funding to support natural resource management. Furthermore, it is expected that activities under this investment portfolio will contribute to the COVID recovery phase of PA management so that it may rebound sustainably and continue to support biodiversity conservation and socio-economic development. 

PACT hereby invites eligible organizations to submit proposal applications for the CIS 2022/23 Transition Plan. Viable proposals should aim at achieving the following outcomes as laid out in the CIS 2022/23 Transition Plan: 

  1. Increased Management Effectiveness by 3% 
  2. Strengthened PA Governance 
  3. Increased Financial Leveraging Capacity into the BNPAS 

Some identified outputs for achieving these goals include (but are not limited to): 

  1. Strengthened PA Institutional Framework/Policies/Procedures
  2. Engagement of qualified personnel to manage PA(s) 
  3. Engagement of qualified personnel for efficient business operations 
  4. Establishing a robust Financial Management System 
  5. Creating an enabling environment for business operations 
  6. Increased adaptive capacity to respond to economic shocks 
  7. Diversification of income streams (aside from entrance fees) 

Only projects related to the conservation and management of a legally established protected area will be considered for funding. 

All application packages should be accompanied by letter of endorsement from the relevant government agency and submitted through PACT’s Information Management System at ims.pactbelize.org.  This call for proposals will be open up to October 26, 2022 or until all funds have been exhausted. All proposals are subject to the established screening procedures.
