CI is launching an initiative to strengthen the financial stability of Africa’s Keystone Protected Areas (KPAs). These KPAs are critical for biodiversity conservation and serve as the core of larger ecological systems in landscapes.
The Director of the Protected Area Finance (PAF) Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) will lead the facility which will design, strengthen, and implement long-term, sustainable financing platforms, such as Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) and multi-stakeholder conservation finance deals, to ensure the lasting protection of KPAs. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of protected area finance at scale, working at the intersection of conservation, finance, and policy.
