This call is open for proposals for site, corridor and species conservation-based activities in eligible geographies in the Dominican Republic. Please refer to table 1.
It is also open for national, regional or multi-country capacity building and networking activities that target groups and organisations in Antigua & Barbuda, The Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and St Vincent & the Grenadines. Please refer to table 2.
While capacity building activities can target groups and organisations in Haiti, no activities can be implemented in that country under this call.
