    The document serves as a set of questions and answers regarding the USAID Biodiversity Conservation NOFO NO.: 72044020RFA00004. The primary focus is on establishing effective partnerships with the Government of Vietnam (GVN) for conservation activities, specifically identifying the Management Board for Forestry Projects and related provincial departments as key partners. The activity centers on three national parks (Phong Nha Ke Bang, Bach Ma, Bi Doup Nui Ba) and six nature reserves, with an emphasis on ensuring efficient coordination with existing and overlapping initiatives, such as the Sustainable Forest Management Activity. The guidance excludes the institutional experience of key partners from eligibility, maintains no limit on performance reference submissions, and clarifies indirect cost provisions for local entities. Additionally, it defines “forest and wildlife crimes” to include illegal activities affecting forestry and wildlife. This document is critical for applicants engaging with government RFPs, outlining specific collaborative frameworks and logistical expectations for successful project execution while mitigating interactivity risks.
