The Fellowship seeks to strengthen the capacities, networks, and leadership of 30 change agents working with organisations in the Global South on issues related to biodiversity and livelihoods. The CCF will support participants in developing a helpful peer-learning and mentoring community, successfully implementing their projects and programmes, and measuring the impact of those projects and programmes.
Due to the generosity of funders, the CCF is provided without charge. All fellows will be asked to make a small donation to help cover their travel expenses for the in-person meeting in Morocco in May 2024. To ensure that everyone has an equal chance to participate, they will provide assistance for people to fundraise to meet these expenses as well as application-based travel bursaries.
