Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund: Round 9

Elephant Conservation and Research Funding Support in Asia & Africa

Deadline: 22-Aug-22

The Illegal wildlife Trade (IWT) has launched a funding call “Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund” to provide innovative and scalable solutions to reduce pressure on wildlife from illegal trade and, in doing so, reduce poverty in developing countries.

The IWT Challenge Fund provides flexible funding to innovative and scalable solutions to drive transformational change. The IWT is a complex, fast changing and varied problem where traditional approaches that focus on the supply and anti-poaching interventions alone, have so far largely failed to solve.

The IWT Challenge Fund sets out to stimulate the development of innovative and unconventional solutions to IWT that are responsive and relevant to local contexts. To really deliver on the impacts they want, successful interventions need to be scaled, facilitating a pipeline of proven projects for other public and private investment to support and deliver global change.

Thematic Focus

Proposals must align to one or more of the four project themes – listed below – which align with the pillars of action agreed and reconfirmed by global leaders at the IWT Conference Series. Suggests areas under each pillar where the IWT Challenge Fund can advance global efforts and drive innovation.
