Building an Investment Case for Co-management of Ecosystems, Food Systems & Public Health in Africa: A Report of the Ecosystems, Finance & Health Inception Workshop, March 19-22, Namunyak Conservancy, Samburu, Kenya

Abstract

This workshop gathered 40 leading experts from science, finance, governments, NGOs and communities to explore the feasibility of building an investment case and de-risking mechanisms for co-management of ecosystems and public health in Africa. The goal was to co-create a road map outlining steps that could be taken towards achieving this. Participants, whose work examines environmental change and public health from different perspectives, were drawn from 29 organizations from Africa and further afield.
