This project will advance scalable, evidence-based Inclusive Conservation Finance (ICF) models through testing in Uganda and Tanzania but with global applicability, by providing access to community-managed small loans which incentivise engagement in biodiversity conservation. Current barriers to scaling will be addressed by strengthening inclusive and equitable governance mechanisms; improving linkages between borrowed capital and biodiversity / social impacts; using financial technology innovation to reduce management costs of microcredit management; mapping opportunities to reduce dependence on grant-based financing mechanisms.
