Planification stratégique pour la longévité et un plus grand impact chez Funbio

ARPA – Amazon Region Protected Areas program is currently the largest tropical forest conservation program in the globe. Its goal is to protect 10% of the Brazilian Amazon region, which means almost 60 million hectares in Protected Areas (PAs). This federal government program was financed by the GEF (through the World Bank), WWF, KfW, and two Brazilian private companies, with investments of about 75 million dollars in its first phase (until 2009). Funbio was selected by ARPA’s donors to be responsible for: financial management, procurement services, asset management, community development subprojects and to studies on alternative conservation financial mechanisms for the long term sustainability of the protected areas included in the program.
