Opportunity Information: Apply for DOS DJI POL FY24 001
The U.S. Embassy in Djibouti is offering a discretionary grant to support reforestation and sustainable landscaping projects in Djibouti City, with the goal of reducing extreme urban heat and strengthening the citys ability to cope with climate-related impacts. The opportunity is framed around the reality that Djibouti is among the hottest places in the world, facing chronic drought that has intensified with climate change. Typical temperatures range roughly from 23C to 40C and can spike to around 50C during the peak summer months (June through August). Because more than 70 percent of the countrys population lives in the capital, the pressure of rapid urbanization has contributed to a steady loss of vegetation cover, which in turn worsens heat stress, reduces shade, and undermines overall urban livability. The Embassy highlights that reforestation can measurably lower city temperatures (citing evidence that trees can reduce average urban temperature by about 0.4C), making tree planting and climate-smart landscaping a practical tool for mitigation.
A major part of the rationale for the program is that Djibouti City is also increasingly exposed to flooding risks when rainfall does occur. Climate change is linked to more variable and intense rain events, and when that combines with dense urban development, deforestation, and aging or inadequate drainage systems, flooding can become severe. The notice points to April 2024 flooding as a clear example, when just a few hours of rain trapped communities and caused major damage to roads and bridges. Against this backdrop, the program aligns with the Mayors Green City vision, which emphasizes expanding urban greenery, adopting climate-smart practices, and reducing heat in the capital. Proposals are expected to support sustainable reforestation rather than one-off planting, meaning projects should consider long-term viability, appropriate placement, and practices that help trees survive in a hot, arid urban environment.
The funding priorities focus on projects that directly respond to extreme heat and climate adaptation needs in Djibouti City, especially as climate pressures contribute to rural-to-urban migration and place added strain on city infrastructure and services. The program identifies two core objectives. First, it seeks training components that build practical local capacity in sustainable landscaping and effective tree placement, specifically to help mitigate both urban flooding and extreme heat. Second, it aims to increase reforestation in Djibouti City through direct tree planting. Strong proposals would therefore be expected to combine hands-on planting with education or training activities that improve how urban greening is planned, implemented, and maintained over time.
In terms of who can apply, the Embassy will consider a broad range of applicants from Djibouti and the United States, emphasizing diversity among participating organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and small businesses. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is environment. The opportunity is funded through FY 2023 Economic Support Funds (ESF), described as supporting small-scale grants for climate adaptation and sustainable landscapes in host countries.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "U.S. Embassy Djibouti Reforestation Program" and opportunity number "DOS DJI POL FY24 001." The assistance listing/CFDA number is 19.989. The application deadline listed is August 15, 2024. The Embassy expects to make one award, with an award ceiling of $100,000, meaning proposals should be designed to fit within that budget cap while still demonstrating credible impact in Djibouti City through training, tree planting, and climate-smart urban landscaping that addresses both heat and flood risk.Apply for DOS DJI POL FY24 001
