Summary
Through innovative leadership, mentoring and incubation, we build the capacity of GEN Biodiversity and Livelihoods Fellows from 30 Global South civil society organisations (CSOs) to develop funding proposals, implement projects, prepare financial and narrative reports, measure impact and communicate results. This reduces barriers to accessing funding and expands conservation practice and research by building generative relationships between CSOs and Global North funders, non-profits, research institutes and universities. We scale up results through educational materials, mentorship training, podcasts and toolkits.
