The Prosperity, Livelihoods and Conserving Ecosystems (PLACE) IQC

ARD’s PLACE Consortium supports Natural Resources Management and Biodiversity Conservation activities in all USAID missions and other operating units. PLACE addresses ecological, economic growth, and governance issues in an integrated manner to support effective management and conservation of renewable natural resources. PLACE can support multi-year, multidimensional, landscape-scale projects as well as more targeted interventions, such as analyses, assessments, and evaluations. The PLACE IQC contracting mechanism is easy to use and rapid. Through PLACE, Requests for Proposals are issued to pre-competed teams with established subcontracting arrangements, and Missions can easily obtain support throughout the design and competition process from USAID technical staff in Washington, D.C.
