Across Africa, local communities and the organizations that support them are delivering critical conservation, climate and livelihood outcomes – safeguarding forests, savannas, mangroves, wildlife and community land rights at scale. Yet these organizations remain chronically underfunded, constrained by short-term, project-based grants that limit their ability to plan, adapt, grow, and, ultimately, scale their impact. As climate shocks intensify and land conversion accelerates, proven local solutions are struggling to scale fast enough.
Vuma is the response.
Vuma is a $65 million pooled fund providing multi-year, unrestricted core funding to Africa’s leading community-led conservation organisations.
Vuma offers a rare opportunity to invest in ready-made scale.
Co-designed with more than 60 African organizations working across roughly 70 million hectares of critical landscapes and seascapes, Vuma will provide this carefully selected and highly impressive portfolio of African leaders with the right funding to scale their work and impact.
It is designed for impact, accountability and efficiency. By pooling capital and aligning it to an organization’s own strategies, it direct resources to where they can deliver the greatest long-term impact.
