From 28 August to 1 September 2023, CAF\u00c9 held its 13th General Assembly (GA) which was hosted by Tanzania Forest Fund (TaFF) in collaboration with the Eastern Arc Mountains Conservation Endowment Fund (EAMCEF) in Arusha, Tanzania. Under the theme of \u201cGrowing Your Endowment: Strategies for Conservation Trust Funds,\u201d the event brought together different experts and conservation practitioners from around the globe to build capacity and share experiences in promotion of innovative financing mechanisms for biodiversity conservation.<\/strong> The participants included representatives from CAF\u00c9 member CTFs, Latin American and Caribbean Network of Environmental Funds (RedLAC) members and other stakeholders and experts in biodiversity conservation and climate change. The GA\u2019s overall purpose was to strengthen capacities of CTFs through knowledge and experience sharing on various financing mechanisms and strategies that the CTFs can employ to grow their endowment funds and increase their financial resources for improved and sustainable biodiversity conservation in Africa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
