CEPF is a joint initiative of l’Agence Française de Développement, Conservation International, the European Union, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan and the World Bank. A fundamental goal is to ensure civil society is engaged in biodiversity conservation.

CEPF’s niche for investment in the Mediterranean was formulated through a participatory process that engaged civil society, donors, and governmental stakeholders throughout the region.
