The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) was founded in 2000 to address this challenge by empowering civil society in developing countries and transitional economies to protect the world’s biodiversity hotspots, which are some of Earth's most biologically rich yet threatened terrestrial ecosystems.

Through grants totaling more than US$324 million and technical assistance to over 2,700 civil society organizations and individuals, we have taken action to conserve more than 1,300 species in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and strengthened the management and protection of 55. 8 million hectares of Key Biodiversity Areas. Our grantees have also contributed to the establishment of 17.

1 million hectares of new protected areas, and the improved management of 12. 2 million hectares of production landscape—areas where agriculture, forestry or natural product harvesting occur. And more than 5,700 communities in the biodiversity hotspots have benefited directly from CEPF-funded projects through improved access to clean water, improved land tenure and increased representation in decision-making processes.

By supporting development of conservation strategies for the biodiversity hotspots that are driven by local input, and providing grants to civil society—nongovernmental, private sector and academic organizations—to implement those strategies, CEPF seeks to protect biodiversity, build long-term local conservation leadership and nurture sustainable development.

These strategies also are designed to be valuable to other entities working to conserve the hotspots, and often lead to collaboration and coordination with other organizations and governments. CEPF's investments are especially important because the hotspots are home to more than 1 billion people, millions of whom are impoverished and highly dependent on nature for survival.

The fund is a joint program of l’Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the European Union, Fondation Hans Wilsdorf, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Canada, the Government of Japan and the World Bank. All opportunities from Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund are published on DevelopmentAid under Funding Agency "CEPF".

Environmental protection and conservation Natural resource and ecosystem management Climate change and environmental resilience View grants in this sector Cameroon’s development strategy has involved substantial public spending on infrastructure and economic activity, with recent budgets reflecting increased financing needs to support growth across transport, energy and public services.

While infrastructure investment aims to stimulate non-oil sector growth, Cameroon still faces challenges related to governance, liquidity constraints and lingering infrastructure gaps in road networks and utilities.

Continued reforms to strengthen institutional capacity, improve public-private partnerships and mobilize external financing are central to enhancing the quality and impact of infrastructure spending in driving inclusive development.

View grants in this location Côte d’Ivoire has positioned infrastructure investment at the core of its economic development strategy, with major projects in transport corridors, energy expansion, urban mobility and digital networks that support one of the region’s fastest-growing economies. Regional integration initiatives and improved logistics capacity bolster the country’s role as an economic hub in West Africa.

Continued focus on institutional reforms, regulatory frameworks and enhanced public-private partnerships aims to ensure that infrastructure financing effectively drives productivity gains and inclusive growth.
