This report to Project K is accompanied by two other products: 1. Governance in Regional Conservation Finance Platforms: A Comparative Case Study. This is a full case study analyzing the governance practices in the three regional platforms. This was the basis for platform selfanalysis reflection and ultimately decisions to strengthen their governance standards; and 2. A Capacity-Building Plan to strengthen the three marine regional platforms for conservation through the Caribbean-Pacific Alliance for Marine Conservation Finance – made up of all three REDLAC Marine Regional Conservation Finance Platforms.
This study and the emerging learning and mentoring opportunities were made possible thanks to the support of Project K, Building Capacity in Conservation Trust Funds in RedLAC and CAFÉ, managed by FUNBIO and funded by FFEM (French Fund for the Global Environment), the GEF (Global Environment Facility), Mava Foundation and matching contributions from the 40 environmental funds in 28 countries along with RedLAC and CAFÉ. Members of the three regional platforms generously gave of their time and experience to develop the comparative case study and the accomplishments reported herein.
