HideDescription

The pros and cons of collaborative approaches to funding remain true whether you are a funder or an implementing organisation. Alone to go faster, together to go further is more than a cliché. The presentation of the on-line mapping tool of grants provided by the Mediterranean Donor Roundtable (launch 11:00-11:45) will illustrate how visualising donor activity in the region can foster new collaborations through highlighting common focal themes and geographies, and picturing gaps of funding. Sharing a joint vision can also benefit implementing organisations in their funding quest. Coordinators of partnerships from MAVA Foundation’s action plans will debate together and with the audience about the benefits and limitations of their collaborative fundraising initiatives, anchored around a joint strategic vision on specific themes related to freshwater, marine, cultural landscapes, and species conservation issues (11:45-12:30)
