The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) niche for investment in the Indochina region has been formulated through an inclusive, participatory process that engaged civil society, donor, and government stakeholders throughout the region. Given the limited amount of potential funding relative to existing investments by international donors and national governments, the basic premise underlying the CEPF niche is to support initiatives by civil society that complement and better target existing investments rather than duplicate them.
The Indochina ecosystem profiles include a commitment and emphasis on using targets for achieving “conservation outcomes” as the scientific underpinning for determining CEPF’s geographic and thematic focus for investment. These outcomes comprise the effective conservation of a set of species, sites, and biodiversity loss.
