OrganizationInternational Centre for Insect Physiologyand EcologyTanzania Forest Conservation GroupWorld Wide Fund for Nature East AfricaRegional and Tanzania programme officesBirdLife in conjunction with its nationalpartner organizations NatureKenya andWildlife Conservation Society of TanzaniaOutputAn Eastern Arc and Coastal ForestsCoordination Unit exists with appropriatemechanisms to facilitate achievement ofthe Investment Priorities identified in theCEPF Ecosystem Profile.Stakeholders within civil society andgovernment are aware of the CEPFprocess, goals, and achievements and aresharing experiences.Civil society stakeholders supported todesign effective conservation projects inline with the CEPF ecosystem profile andsubmit proposals to CEPF.A comprehensive and complementarysuite of CEPF projects (within budget) is inplace to fully address the strategicdirections and investment priorities in theecosystem profile.This union of four important organizations is unique in the region and is an example ofthe whole being greater than the sum of the individual parts. In addition, one of thegreatest strengths of the coordination unit has been the links with many otherorganizations and individuals, which ensure that CEPF’s funds are implementedappropriately: complimenting ongoing activities and making the best use of the fundingavailable.Community consultation meetingsAssisting civil society forms the core of CEPF’s investment in implementing CEPF in theEastern Arc and Coastal Forests. In order to ensure that civil society organizations,especially community-based organizations were alerted to the opportunity, a series of 4community consultative meeting were held through out the region in Mombasa, Dar esSalaam, Morogoro and Tanga.The series of meetings served to introduce CEPF to communities and describe theapplication procedure, as well as work with potential grantees to develop their ideas andassist in drafting letters of inquiry. These consultative meetings were then followed upby a series of training of trainers’ workshops that provided further assistance tocommunity representatives in developing ideas for submission to CEPF. There havebeen remarkable results from the combination of consulting with community groups andensuring that there are people able to assist with developing Letters of Inquiry.Review processIn order to ensure the most appropriate use of the available funds a transparent,objective, and efficient review process was developed in a consultative manner and isused to guide investment. The CEPF Coordination Unit and CEPF review each Letterof Inquiry. Most applications are also reviewed by at least two external reviewers withexpertise relevant to the proposed project.6
Reviewers look at:• the relevance of the application to the Strategic Directions and fit to theinvestment priorities;• the capacity of the organization applying to implement the proposed activitiesincluding the quality of partnerships;• the project’s impact on conservation outcomes (this is considered in relation tothe proposed budget and to CEPF’s five-year perspectives) and;• the coherence of the proposed project.In addition to the review process, the Coordination Unit also developed a communicationstrategy to ensure that CEPF’s message and approach are consistent and reachingrelevant sectors of society.Working through AlliancesIt has been extremely fortuitous that, at the same time as CEPF investment launched,the GEF-UNDP Conservation and Management of the Eastern Arc Mountain Forests(CMEAMF GEF-UNDP: URT/01/G32) is being implemented concurrently. From theoutset, CMEAMF and CEPF have blending proposed outputs of both sets of investmentto deliver enhanced conservation outcomes. The Coordination Unit has developedextremely close ties with the national coordinator and chief technical advisor who sit onCEPF’s steering committee and Coordination Unit for this region. The technical supportand assistance and input provided by this project have been invaluable.There are further opportunities for alliances through the WWF Eastern Africa CoastalForests Ecoregional Programme supported by the GEF Medium Sized Project for theKwale District. Similar to the collaboration with the CMEAMF, there are considerablelinks and opportunities for co-funding between the two projects, enhanced by twomembers of the CEPF Coordination Unit sitting on the National and Regional CoastalForest task Forces for this programme.USAID through the Forestry/Range Rehabilitation and Environmental ManagementStrengthening Initiative is also active at Arabuko Sokoke Forest on Kenya’s northerncoast, supporting livelihoods and participatory forest management, in addition to fundinga live forest exhibit/ecotourist attraction in Mombasa for the National Museums of Kenya.This exhibit will provide market outlets for CEPF-supported livelihood initiatives, inaddition to being an awareness-raising and educational center for the region.CEPF has developed strong links with the Japanese Bank for International Cooperation(JBIC), especially regarding the possible re-establishment of the Tana Delta IrrigationScheme. The lower Tana forests are a priority area, especially to ensure the long-termsurvival of the endemic red colobus and Tana Delta mangabey. An environmentalimpact assessment has been funded by CEPF to investigate three main areas:• socioeconomic survey;• botanical, forest health and assessment of increasing connectivity; and• a survey of primate groups in the 23 forest blocks that would be affected by there-establishment of the project.7
