On 11 November 2015, CEPF requested that organizations interested in serving as the Regional Implementation Team (RIT) for the Guinean Forests of West Africa Biodiversity Hotspot submit an expression of interest by 4 December 2015 in order to pre-qualify to submit a formal proposal per the request for proposals (RfP) attached here. Fifteen eligible organizations submitted an expression of interest by the closing date and are named in the RfP. Only those fifteen organizations are now invited to submit a formal proposal. Organizations not named in the RfP are free to join, as a subordinate partner, those pre-qualified organizations applying as a lead entity.

The organization selected to serve as the RIT, and any of its subordinate partners, will not be eligible to receive any other CEPF funding in the hotspot due to conflict of interest.
