USAID's regional office in South America is inviting responses to a Request for Information (RFI) about SERVIR-Amazonia. Interested organizations and individuals are invited to provide information, opinions, and recommendations on approaches for the potential implementation of a SERVIR hub consortium in the Amazon region.

The draft program description is focused on themes of drought and fire risk, water resources and hydroclimatic events, ecosystems management, and weather and climate. The geographic scope of the activity may include any area in the Amazon region, but hub institutions will include, at a minimum, representation from the USAID presence countries of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru.

Current closing date for responses is February 6, 2017. Detailed instructions are available at grants.gov. See http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=291098.
