Grant Description

The purpose of the Conserving Natural Capital and Enhancing Collaborative Management of Transboundary Resources in East Africa (CONNECT) is to strengthen the conservation and management of transboundary natural resources including wildlife and landscapes in the region.

The project seeks to strengthen East African Community (EACs) institutional leadership to deliver on its regional mandate and commitments to conserve and manage shared environment and natural resources in East Africa.

The project works to strengthen existing regional conservation initiatives through generating evidence-based information, innovative methodologies, tools, and best practices for the benefit of the EAC Partner States and their citizens.
