The Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services Network (BES-Net) envisioned a series of knowledge exchange and capacity-building workshops to support the target countries benefitting from the BES Solution Fund in the First Phase (2020-2023).
Aware of the challenges and opportunities in developing and implementing workplans to implement the Fund, BES-Net aims to foster a peer-to-peer learning process, networking, and exchange towards establishing the BES Solution Fund Community of Practice (COP).
The first introductory workshop was held virtually and brought together 30+ representatives from Kazakhstan, Kenya, Nigeria, and Trinidad and Tobago, providing the space to build a network and share experiences regarding work plan development and initial implementation of the BES Solution Fund.
