CEPF
Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund
Founded in 2000, the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a joint initiative of
l’Agence Française de Developpement (AFD), Conservation International (CI), the European
Union (EU), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan and the World
Bank that supports civil society actors in their efforts to conserve the world’s most severely
threatened ecosystems, known as biodiversity hotspots.
Funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) has been made available to CEPF for Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands through AFD as an accredited entity to the GCF.
The fundamental purpose of conserving ecosystems is to enable them to perform their
various functions, called ecosystem services, for the benefit and needs of people, including:
food security; water supply; energy supply; health security; material and economic
comfort; and the maintenance of cultural values and social cohesion.
RIT MADIO
Regional Implementation Team Madagascar Indian Ocean Islands Biodiversity Hotspot
CEPF has enlisted a consortium of nongovernmental organizations to be its regional implementation team (RIT) in the hotspot.
Coordinated by IUCN NL and SAF/FJKM as regional team lead, the RIT includes SAF/FJKM for Madagascar, ID-ONG for Comoros, FORENA for Mauritius and SeyCCAT for Seychelles.
These organizations are working with CEPF to implement a five-year conservation strategy for the hotspot and build local civil society capacity.
The RIT can be reached via the following email address: cepf.ritmadio2@saf-fjkm.org
