Join African conservation leaders to explore how local organisations overcome funding barriers, design equitable partnerships, and pioneer resilient finance models. Discover practical lessons from grassroots to regional platforms, and engage in dialogue on shifting resources and trust to local actors for lasting conservation impact.
Descripción de la sesión
Across Africa, civil society organizations are at the forefront of delivering inclusive and effective conservation. Yet they continue to face structural barriers: fragmented funding landscapes, limited long-term support, and unequal partnerships. This panel brings together six African conservation leaders from North, West, East, and Southern Africa, representing diverse organizational models and contexts. They will share field-tested approaches for unlocking access to resources, designing more equitable partnerships, and fostering resilience through innovative financing, including nature-based tourism and regional platforms. The discussion will also highlight the journeys of grassroots organizations that have successfully scaled their impact, shedding light on what forms of financial, technical, and relational support make the biggest difference. Participants will gain practical lessons and be invited to contribute their perspectives on how to shift trust and resources toward local actors for more sustainable conservation outcomes.Organised by
