The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) has announced a call for proposals for the 2021 Wallacea Biodiversity Hotspot Ecosystem Profile Update.

The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is a joint initiative of l'Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan and the World Bank.

CEPF is a global program that provides grants to civil society to safeguard the world’s biodiversity hotspots. CEPF’s purpose is to strengthen the involvement and effectiveness of civil society in the conservation and management of globally important biodiversity.

CEPF has an ongoing program of investment focused on the Indonesian marine portion of the Wallacea Biodiversity Hotspot. CEPF is planning for a total investment that covers both terrestrial and marine priorities in both Indonesia and Timor-Leste.

The objective of the revision to the coastal resources strategy of the ecosystem profile is to inform the next phase of CEPF investment in the region by reflecting on the opportunities created by five years of investment; challenges and opportunities that have arisen since 2014; and updated science on conservation outcomes.

Duration: The work is expected to take place between April and June 2021.
