The Community Funding Facility
The Community Funding Facility (CFF)
is concerned with sustainable use of natural resources and ecosystem
services. Funds are available to communities for small-scale community-based
economic activities, and related capacity and governance building to
generate equitable benefits to community members. The CFF supports
income-generating activities from registered conservancies and community
forests.
Activities of the CFF include:
-
Providing
funds to communities for small-scale community-based income
generating
activities
-
Promoting
local capacity through support of tailored business planning,
feasibility
support, training, and mentoring
-
Contributing
to increase economic benefits to community members from the
sustainable
use of natural resources
and ecosystems
- Seeking
to develop joint development initiatives between groups of conservancies
exploring income-generating activities
Activities eligible for funding by the
CFF are among the following main classes:
- Ecosystem-based income generating activities
- Rehabilitation
projects relating to degraded land, soil erosion, and the tourism
infrastructure
- Social
infrastructure that does not derive direct income-generating
activities
- Non
income-generating activities with the potential to reduce poverty
and support investments
