The Interagency Planning Group: Latin American Working Group

In addition to its own activities, the LAC working group of the IPG works very closely with RedLAC, which is a network of 23 environmental funds in Latin America. This network is involved in a dynamic process of capacity building and institutional strengthening of environmental funds. The member institutions function as donors at the local level representing various countries, with a deep knowledge of the diversity of social and cultural sectors and with the potential to ensure the continuity of conservation efforts. The funds have financed more than 3000 environmental projects in the region and, all together, manage approximately US$500 million and have a combined annual operational budget of more than US$70 million for conservation activities in the region.

At the end of October, RedLAC held its annual Assembly in Kingston, Jamaica. Although the CFA Chair, Alain Lambert, couldn't attend the meeting, he did send a message to RedLAC representatives. Read it here!
