Facilitate participation of four CEPF grantees from the Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot in the Pan-African Business and Biodiversity Forum in Ghana; organize a knowledge exchange meeting for grantees with projects in key biodiversity areas (KBAs) where the private sector also has operations and/or where there is an opportunity for green enterprise; and organize a side event to profile CEPF's engagement with the private sector, CEPF's broader commitment to KBA conservation and protection, and the mainstreaming of KBAs into policy and development planning.

Strategic Direction: 1 Mainstream biodiversity into wider development policies, plans and projects to deliver the co-benefits of biodiversity conservation, improved local livelihoods and economic development in priority corridors.
