The Forum
The Forum will bring together a unique group of African conservation leaders and select external supporters to foster learning, collaboration, and collective action, so we can all do our work even better.
The Focus
Revisioning the possibilities of partnerships and power for greater collective conservation impact. We want to find ways to improve the system we are a part of, particularly regarding power, money, and partnerships.
The Goal
Through sharing perspectives, ideas, and experiences, we want to harness the power of the collective to improve partnerships and power dynamics between local African CSOs, international NGOs, and donors. Ultimately, we want to co-create solutions that can help improve our system and lead to greater conservation success.
The Participants
The Forum will bring together some of Africa’s greatest community conservation leaders and their supporters, such as donors and representatives from international NGOs. This is an invitation-only event.
The Organizers & Supporters
The Forum is being co-created by African conservation leaders, Maliasili, WE Africa, and the event’s funding partners: Blue Ventures, The Nature Conservancy, Tusk Trust, and the Wildlife Conservation Network. Additional support is provided by Liz Claiborne & Art Ortenberg Foundation and the BAND Foundation.
