Capacity and Tools for Biodiversity Mainstreaming in the Guinean Forests of West Africa Biodiversity Hotspot

Support the production of a working draft of a Theory of Change (ToC) for biodiversity mainstreaming in private and public policy and practice across the GFWA hotspot. This will provide the basis and the rationale for actions and partnerships with private sector and will guide and facilitate partnerships among local communities, private sector and government to develop models for best practices in mining, sustainable forestry and sustainable agriculture by private companies. The ToC will guide the RIT and CSOs/NGOs in delivering on the SD 2. Mainstream biodiversity conservation into public policy and private sector practice in the nine conservation corridors, at local, sub-national and national levels and its associated Investment Priorities.
