USAID-Wildlife Security This project enables African Parks Foundation to investigate the feasibility of taking on the management of the Chinko Conservation Area in the Central Africa Republic. The Chinko Conservation Areas has some of the last remaining wildlife populations in the Shahelo-Guinean transition landscapes even though it has been severely affected by nomadic transborder poaching incidents. Specific activities include: 1) site visitation and meeting with stakeholders, 2) aerial surveillance of Chinko area and periphery.
Dzanga Forest Elephant Study This grant supports the longest running study of African forest elephants at Dzanga Bai in the Central Africa Republic. In spite of political turmoil and instability in the country, the area remains an important habitat and gathering site for large numbers of elephants. Funds support ongoing surveillance and monitoring of the site, collection of baseline data, and collaboration with the Dzanga-Sangha project in anti-poaching efforts.
USAID-Capacity Building "The purpose of this project is to train coaches who can assist teams to design, implement, and monitor effective conservation projects using results-based management for their conservation work in Central Africa. The project will: 1) increase conservation planning capacity in Central Africa by strengthening the capacity of 20 ""coaches"" in the region to facilitate biodiversity conservation project planning with various teams using the Open Standards. Conservation planning capacity activities include hosting a four-day coaches training and providing follow up support. 2) Institutionalize an Open Standards module at Mbalmayo Forestry School and Garoua Wildlife College in Cameroon to build conservation planning capacity (for protected area management and species conservation) of students at the start of their conservation careers. Open Standards Module activities include: teaching the pilot module, working with faculty at Mbalmayo and Garoua to build in-house capacity to teach/coach the Open Standards and institutionalize the Open Standards into the Colleges' curriculum.."

Community-based Coral Restoration and Livelihood Diversification in St Lucia and in St Vincent and the Grenadines Over the past four decades, Caribbean coral reefs have degraded rapidly. This has reduced the income and lowered the food security of coastal communities in St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) that rely on the reefs for fishing and tourism. It has also increased their exposure to storm surges and coastal erosion. At the IAF, we support community-led approaches to natural resource management. Our grantee partner The Centre for Livelihoods, Ecosystems, Energy, Adaptation, and Resilience in the Caribbean (CLEAR) works with local communities in St. Lucia and SVG to establish coral reef restoration projects to support their long-term food security and climate resilience. CLEAR will train community members to grow and preserve reefs while building public awareness for marine conservation. This grant is part of the IAFs commitment to strengthen community-led disaster mitigation and resilience in the Caribbean. It advances our partnership with USAID, Building Community Resilience in the Eastern & Southern Caribbean, as well as the U.S.-Caribbean Resilience Partnership. This grant is part of the IAF's broader COVID-19 response strategy.

Implementation of an Agro Tourism Park in the Upper Section of the Soufriere Watershed For many years, Fond St. Jacques' farmers in St. Lucia gained weekly income from banana cultivation on their own land. However, the local industry declined with shifts in international trade agreements and with no alternative cash crop, incomes decreased. The IAF supports community-led approaches to expand economic opportunity, such as community tourism. Our grantee partner the Fond St. Jacques Community Development Committee (FSJDC) will strengthen the skills and knowledge of youth, farmers, and women to diversify their livelihoods through community tourism activities and upgrade the Fond St. Jacques Agro-Tourism Park.This grant is part of the IAF's commitment to strengthen community-led disaster mitigation and resilience in the Caribbean and is advancing the U.S.-Caribbean Resilience Partnership.
