Scaling Up Resilient Conservation Action

Why attend

This session aims to examine the relevance, conditions, and limitations of current capacity-building approaches. A key question will be asked: Is capacity building still the key to ensuring the sustainability, autonomy, and impact of CSOs on biodiversity conservation?

Session Description

This session will bring together various actors involved in cooperation and support programs for CSOs to exchange experiences and reflect together on the conditions for support that brings transformative change to conservation organizations.
