3.5 Provide one seed and technical support to one conservation NGO

During Year 3, BALANCED worked to identify another conservation organization that would be interested in integrating health and family planning into their programs and could benefit from some financial and technical support to achieve this objective. To date, we have explored potential seed grant opportunities for the CRC Ghana program, conservation groups in Uganda, the Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, and in Senegal. Currently, the CRC Ghana project does not need seed grant funding; BALANCED has conducted discussions but not identified a suitable Ugandan NGO; in the Gorongosa National Park, activities cannot begin until the USAID bilateral funding is secured; and CRC still awaits final award from USAID Senegal for its program there. For the next reporting period, BALANCED will follow-up with Gorongosa National Park and initiate discussion with the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program in Papua New Guinea. It will also continue discussions with an NGO in Tanzania that is eager to initiate PHE activities, but that lacks the funding to do so. Further, BALANCED will contact its Advisory Committee members and other key PHE leaders to help identify a good candidate for this seed grant.
