What is the role of Regional Implementation Teams?
Nongovernmental organizations selected to function as Regional Implementation Teams provide strategic leadership for the program in each hotspot approved for investment beginning in 2007. Their objective is to convert the plans in the CEPF ecosystem profiles into cohesive portfolios of grants that exceed in impact the sum of their parts. They have primary responsibility for building a broad constituency of civil society groups working across institutional and political boundaries toward achieving the shared conservation goals described in the profiles.
