Description
1) Objective:
The Rapid Response Facility (RRF) provides emergency support to natural World Heritage sites in times of crisis. The RRF is a partnership between the UNESCO World Heritage Center and Fauna & Flora International (FFI). RRF grants are available for UNESCO natural World Heritage sites. The RRF only funds actions at a site facing an ‘emergency’ threat to its biodiversity. They do not fund on-going issues even if they require urgent action. The RRF’s definition of emergency is based on the following criteria, all of which will be considered during the decision process:
- (1) Suddenness: How recently has the threat emerged or worsened? RRF only consider a situation an emergency if it has arisen in the last few months or weeks, or if the intensity of an existing threat has got suddenly worse. RRF advise applicants to provide evidence of any recent increases in the threat profile where possible;
- (2) Predictability: Based on past experience, how predictable was the situation? The RRF prioritises funding for situations where the threat was unpredictable and thus difficult to prepare for in advance;
- (3) Time sensitivity: Will there be a measurable conservation benefit if work starts immediately (within days / 1-2 weeks), rather than in months or years? The RRF prioritises projects that require immediate assistance;
- and (4) Duration and reversibility of impact: Does the threat have the potential to cause long-lasting negative impact to the biodiversity value of the site? The RRF prioritises actions that avert irreversible damage or reduce long-term negative impacts.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are: (1) government bodies responsible for site management (for example national wildlife agencies, park managers, government ministries etc.); (2) registered local, national or international non-governmental organisations (NGOs); (3) private sector organisations (including local and multinational corporations). Applicant organisations must be able to accept funds into an organisational bank account, directly from the UK in US Dollars (USD).
3) Location
RRF grants are restricted to countries that are eligible for ‘official development assistance’ according to the OECD.
4) Budget
The individual grant size is $30,000.
5) Application:
Applications are accepted year round, there are no deadlines. Requests for funding are only accepted through submission of the official RRF application form to the RRF email address (rrf(a)fauna-flora.org). Applications from NGOs or private sector organisations must include a letter of support from the relevant site management authority as part of their application. The templates can be downloaded from their website. Proposals shall not exceed 6 pages.
