RedLACCapacityBuilding Project Scalingupconservationfinance
RedLACCapacityBuilding for EFs • Objectives • Strengthen the capacity of EFs to develop new market based resource streams for biodiversity conservation. • Facilitate the implementation of new financial mechanisms demonstrating greater resource flow to biodiversity conservation. • Document and share best practices of EFs in their day to day operation, enhancing learning, collaboration and exchange among practitioners.

Knowledgesharing Handbooks are available in English, Spanish and French at RedLAC and Funbio websites. • Since the beginning of the Project in 2010, nine thematic workshops were organized by Funbio in collaboration with host funds:
Participants Asia 100% Oceania 100% 16 directorsfrom LAC + 16 directorsfromAfrica
EF to EF mentoring Twosimultaneousexperiences: FondoAccion (Colombia) – Fundesnap (Bolivia) Funbio (Brazil) – Biofund (Mozambique) • Mentees and mentors registration forms • Matching pairs • Define mentee demand and how the mentor plans to supply it: expectations, outcomes, timeline, methodology, commitment (staff involved and time dedicated), Budget, baseline, learning objectives and indicators • Sign MoU • Implementation: share documents, experiences, support in documents development and new contacts • Define future • Evaluation survey and testimonies
Measuring the Impact of EFs on Biodiversity in Protected Areas • Create a methodology applicable for all EFs. • Consider that EFs do not have presence in the field and must work with PAs’stakeholders. • Use indicators that can be independently monitored: • One effect indicator: threat reduction rate. • Two impact indicators: abundance index for indicative species and habitat cover change rate – remote sensing. • Seven funds are testing the methodology in one PA each in 2013.
To be implemented • Planning meeting RedLAC and CAFÉ • Learning Route • Publication with results: • Additional innovative mechanisms (being identified and prepared by the Secretariat) • All cases and projects • 10th workshop in Africa (Cameroon, September 2014) • RedLAC new website launched • External final evaluation
Survey on training needs 13 Funds from RedLAC + 11 Funds from CAFÉ answered
Innovative Financial Mechanisms for Conservation Provide funds the opportunity of trying out new market-based mechanisms:
CAFÉ – Consortium of African Funds for the Environment A network created in 2010 by the African EFs, inspired in RedLAC. The thematic workshops gave African funds the opportunity to meet periodically and build a trust relation. RedLACand CAFÉ - joint proposal for a second phase for the Capacity Building Project. www.consortiumcafe.org

Feedback • Co-funding: traveland time costs • Rotation • Progress: training effectiveness (basedon Future Steps)
