Biodiverse Landscapes Fund: Stakeholder Engagement Event

The Commercial Department within the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is inviting suppliers interested to know more about DEFRA’s Biodiverse Landscapes Fund.

One session will be held at 0930-1130 GMT, and one at 1430-1630 GMT. The two sessions will be identical. Interested suppliers can access this link for more information on the Stakeholders Engagement sessions to be held on 13th January 2022.

This event will be of particular interest to organisations with a track record of delivering high quality, large-scale projects in the interface between conservation and development. We will welcome bids from consortia and hope that this event will be helpful for organisations in forming consortia with others.

The landscapes Fund will target initially:

• Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, covering areas of Angola, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe
• Mesoamerica, covering areas of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras
• Western Congo Basin, covering areas of Cameroon, Gabon and Republic of Congo
• Andes Amazon, covering areas of Ecuador and Peru
• Lower Mekong, covering areas of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam

Each landscape will be allocated £10m-16m over 7 years. Applications for funding will open in early-mid 2022, with projects expected to start in late 2022.
