Protected areas: a pathway to sustainable growth in the Democratic Republic of Congo

About this program

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is offering a grant to support the establishment and management of protected areas in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), aiming to balance sustainable development with biodiversity conservation. The project focuses on data collection, community consultation, and gap analysis to expand protected areas to 15-17% of the national territory. While specific eligibility criteria are not provided, the opportunity is open to applicants who can contribute to the project's goals of preserving natural resources and ensuring sustainable livelihoods. Interested parties should align with WWF’s mission and demonstrate capacity to engage with local communities and stakeholders in the DRC.
