Joining forces to support the most effective local groups

The Congo Basin Pooled Fund was established in 2017 with the goal of increasing the amount and effectiveness of conservation funding for the people and organisations working to protect this vital yet overlooked region. The Congo Basin contains the second largest unbroken tract of rainforest on Earth, yet some of the most impactful conservation organisations working in the region struggle to access the funding and support they need.

Through years of experience working with individuals and locally led organisations in the region, we have found that place-based approaches informed and led by the communities who live on the land are the most effective, long-term response to protect biodiversity, promote land rights, and support communities to develop sustainably. Our Congo Basin Pooled Fund offers donors the opportunity to join forces to scale up vital support to local people and organisations dedicated to protecting this vast and uniquely important, but highly threatened landscape.
