The Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund (EAMCEF) is a Trust Fund that was established as a mechanism to provide long-term and reliable funding support for Community Development, Biodiversity Conservation and Applied Research Projects, which promote the biological diversity, ecological functions and sustainable use of natural resources in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania.
EAMCEF was founded in 2001 through joint initiatives of the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania, the Board of Trustees (BOT), the World Bank (WB) and the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Like other conservation funds, EAMCEF undertakes fundraising activities so as to meet its conservation ob- jectives. The case described here therefore explains on the process the Fund embarked on to solicit and secure a financial support from the Royal Government of Norway.
