Rooted progress – Marking the first year of a community-based sustainable forest management in Ketapang
Tropenbos Indonesia’s and Rimba Collective’s collaborative project to promote sustainable community-based forest stewardship and livelihood improvement in four villages of the Ketapang District, West Kalimantan province, is moving forward. Embarking on a 25-year journey, the project, also supported by MoMo4C, has laid the foundation for success during its inaugural year, with facilities, training and strategic planning set in motion.
Transforming gender norms and reducing gender-based violence in Uganda
In many parts of the world, women do not equal opportunities in ownership and use of land and its resources. MoMo4C landscape partner ECOTRUST applies the GALS approach within their business model, to bridge the gender gap between men and women in rural communities. ‘GALS enables us to show people that they can be agents of change, starting with both women and men visualising their future,’ shared Pauline Nantongo, Executive Director of ECOTRUST.

Accelerating nature-based solutions in community-led initiatives
Communities hit hardest by the impacts of climate change, often contribute the least to the causes behind it. In addition, they often lack resources to adapt to the impact of climate change. MoMo4C supports communities and civil society organisations that develop nature-based solutions. Our role is to help building capacity to develop these initiatives into an investable business enterprise. A new paper examines the effectiveness, opportunities and risks of these initiatives.
About
Climate change has major consequences for people and nature. It is often the countries hit hardest by flooding and increasing drought that also lack the financial resources to combat climate change and to adapt to its effects.
Mobilising More for Climate (MoMo4C) is a five-year programme (2019 – 2024) of IUCN Netherlands, WWF Netherlands and Tropenbos International, funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It brings together entrepreneurs, companies, policymakers, investors, civil society organisations and local entrepreneurs to make green business propositions that tackle the impacts and causes of climate change at the landscape level in developing countries, and to attract investments to implement these initiatives.
By mobilising more funding for nature-based climate adaptation and mitigation solutions, we contribute to healthy and thriving landscapes in Cameroon, Ghana, Indonesia, Uganda, and Zambia.
