Sustaining nature and empowering communities through funding for local conservation action

The project addresses weak governance, limited financial sustainability, and declining conservation outcomes in community conservancies. It aims to strengthen conservancy management, biodiversity protection, and sustainable livelihoods by channeling targeted small grants, delivering tailored technical assistance, and implementing structured capacity development programs. These interventions will build leadership skills, enhance financial management systems, and promote inclusive decision-making. Expected results include strengthened governance structures, transparent and accountable financial operations, improved climate resilience, and greater community ownership of conservation efforts.
