Madagascar Protected Areas and Biodiversity Fund (FAPBM) has received financial support from BRIDGE Project, a joint initiative of the Consortium of African Funds for the Environment (CAFÉ) and the Latin American and Caribbean Environmental Funds Network (RedLAC). This project aims to establish strategic alliances between the private sector and trust funds, such as FAPBM, to address the funding gap in the field of conservation.

Capacity Building Support Programme for Madagascan Professionals and Community Leaders

The Hempel Foundation's second major initiative in Madagascar is a long-term professional training programme. The project aims to train a new generation of experts in protected areas and biodiversity, and to play a central role in capitalising on local know-how and broadening knowledge. Malagasy expertise exists, but needs to be strengthened to improve the impact of biodiversity conservation. This project will fill the current training gap to improve the management of Madagascar's protected areas.
