have a proven track record of managing biodiversity-related and/or natural resource orientated development projects in partnership with local organisations
can provide evidence of work which has had an impact on the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity and/or sustainable economic development
can demonstrate that alternative funding – including financial support from their own organisation – is not available to develop the Darwin project proposal in consultation with their partners. Partnership project funding should not be seen as an alternative to seeking matched funding from other sources.
