Our mission in Guinea


Timothée and Guillaume spent two days in Coyah with all the representatives of the protected areas of Guinea and the Guinean Office of Parks and Reserves (OGUIPAR). This mission was meant to deliver trainings on business planning and strategy within the framework of the program Small initiatives and financial mechanisms for the conservation of marine and coastal biodiversity of West Africa (PIMFAO) of the Network of Marine Protected Areas of West Africa (RAMPAO) in collaboration with our partner Baastel.
For these managers, only salaries are guaranteed in the long term. Therefore, training should enable them to identify their financial needs and build their business plan. The final objective: obtain new financing sources to allow them to reach their conservation goals. We identified promising financing sources and financing mechanisms for their activities.
Participants were strongly involved! To be continued…
Upon the request of the Maltese government, BlueSeeds trained the national MPA network on financial planning and worked on the validation of their business plan.
BlueSeeds is back on the island of Lastovo, in Croatia for its Blue Local Incubator, aiming to incubate 7 microenterprises and involve islanders in the local actions of marine conservation.
The Ocean & Climate Platform recommends BlueSeeds' Guide on Financing Mechanisms for Marine Protected Areas in its "An Ocean of Solutions" report.
