Consortium of African Funds for the Environment
History
Environmental conservation trust funds were thus created throughout the African continent. Today, there is a need to improve the institutional efficiency of these funds and to increase knowledge sharing between them. The creation of a network was considered the best approach to meet this objective.
After a period of informal collaboration, the Consortium of African Funds for the Environment (CAFE) was officially created during a meeting held in Dar-es Salaam in September 2011. This network was launched by twelve founder funds with several supporting partners.
VISION
To be the globally respected alliance for championing sustainable environmental finance in Africa.
MISSION
To build a learning community that shares best practices and pursues innovative finance mechanisms in order to foster conservation, environmental management and sustainable development in Africa.
