Pourquoi participer

Conserving our world's biodiversity and unique natural environments means empowering local actors to pioneer locally-relevant solutions. But how do we ensure resources reach the right grantees, in an efficient manner, and maximise impact? Come to share, listen, and learn during this facilitated session on grant-making best practices.

Description de la séance

IUCN's support to local conservation actors comes through diverse grant facilities, implemented across the Secretariat's programmes and regions. Collectively, these grants support +500 grantees, across 50 facilities, with +€/$150 million annually.

This session brings together representatives from IUCN's grant-facilities, spanning Kiwa, BIOPAMA, BESTLIFE2030, RISE, Great Green Wall, Save Our Species, ITHCP, the WALD Innovation Facility, The Mubadarat Initiative, BNCFF, BCAF and more. Grantees, donors, and grant managers will join us to not only explore the collective impact of IUCN’s grant-making towards the achievement of global goals, but also to exchange and learn from one another to identify best practices for grantmaking.

The horizontal structure of the session will also, uniquely, involve grantees themselves in this dialogue – the people who really have their ears and eyes on the ground where the work is being done.
