To mark the International Day for Biological Diversity, we provide an update on the Chimanimani project. This project has been supported by the FFEM and AFD for the past 3 years to work on sustainable management combining the conservation of natural and cultural resources with the socio-economic development of the region.

Chair of the FFEM Steering Committee, Christophe Bories, looks back on the period 2019-2022 and its defining moments, and comments on the challenges the FFEM should address over the next four years.

Re-financed to the tune of €132 million for 2023-2026, the FFEM has a new strategy and is setting out its priority directions.
This new FFEM strategy is the result of close consultation with its member institutions, its own Scientific and Technical Committee and secretariat, while also reflecting discussions with stakeholders from civil society and research communities. It presents the FFEM, its strategic objectives and its new priority themes, and summarises how to submit a project to the FFEM.
