• protecting key biodiversity assets by ensuring ecologically interconnected landscapes with diverse, healthy, ecologically sustainable and climate change resilient ecosystems.
• improving governance and management of natural resources by promoting the autonomy and resilience of rural communities, women, indigenous peoples and young people.
• enhancing the economic potential of landscapes through the development of a viable and sustainable economy, supported by sound land use planning.

The general objective of this call for proposals is to contribute to the reduction of biodiversity loss while sustainably improving the quality of life of local and indigenous communities living within Priority Landscapes for Conservation and Development (PPCD/KLCD) in sub-Saharan Africa.
