EF-to-EF Mentorship program between La Fondation pour le Tri-National de la Sangha (FTNS) and Fondation des Savanes Ouest Africaines (FSOA)

Knowledge Management Platform

Project K is supported by the French Fund for Global Environment, Mava Foundation and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), through United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). It is designed to enhance financial inno- vations portfolios of the Trust Funds members of RedLac and CAFE in order to face the challenges of preservation, environment management and climate change.

In this context, the foundation of West African Savannah (FSOA) answered to a call for project in the field of “EF-to-EF Mentorship Program of RedLAC-CAFE Knowledge for Action Project – Project K”. The project approved by RedLAC for amount US$ 30,000,000, seeks to make the FSOA profit from the experience of the Foundation for Sangha Tri-national in order to more clearly identify the issues and steps of regionalisation if its financial mechanism.

The objective of the current document, prepared and approved by both implicated foundations, is to share the experience of mentorship with the other funds members of RedLac and CAFE. It consolidates the major achievements of FNTS mentorship that can be operable for the FSOA in its expansion to Burkina Faso and Niger.
The mains activities led in the frame of the mentorship that are the exchange trip with the mentor (FNTS) in Cameroon, external expertise and sub-regional workshop (Benin, Burkina Faso, Niger) were a great success. Through the program, the FSOA (mentored) can clearly identify the issues and steps of regionalising its financial mechanism which has had significant progress. The expansion process of the FSOA sustainable funding mechanism to the whole Complex “WAP” (W-Arly-Pendjari) was clearly identified in terms of mandatory changes to make as well as administrative arrangements to take in Burkina Faso and Niger. A roadmap which defines practical ways of implementation (charges, terms etc...) was adopted by state authorities.
