WWF published a compilation of case studies that are part of the MoMo4C programme. This set of eight case studies focuses on promising bankable nature projects in Zambia and Cameroon, and features some of the landscape approach activities that are being undertaken by MoMo4C in these landscapes.  The case studies highlight how MoMo4C uses innovative technical assistance to support Bankable Nature Solutions project. 

For the past five years, the MoMo4C has been a driving force for sustainable development in the Juabeso-Bia and Sefwi Wiawso Landscape in Ghana. Through collaboration with different stakeholders, Tropenbos Ghana has pioneered innovative finance solutions using the landscape approach, creating real impact on the ground. One of the key achievements has been the establishment of 33 Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) across 36 communities.

How do we ensure that climate and biodiversity funding reach locally-led nature and climate initiatives? What challenges face local entrepreneurs in scaling and financing nature-based solutions? These were central topics of the MoMo4C events at the COP16. ‘Five of our partners from landscapes in Ghana, Zambia, Uganda and Indonesia were able to enthuse and inspire a large audience of nature and finance practitioners,’ reflects Jan Willem den Besten, coordinator of MoMo4C.  

The Earth is battling a dual crisis. How are we going to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss? Working in six landscapes, we use public funds to attract private investments into projects that boost climate resilience, protect and restore biodiversity and can evolve into investable business opportunities, benefitting both nature and people. In this video, we take you to MoMo4C's Indonesian landscape.

MoMo4C aims to develop nature-based solutions and biodiverse, climate-resilient landscapes. The programme focuses on creating business cases to attract public, philanthropic and private finance, targeting sectors like agri-food, biodiversity, water forestry and landscape regeneration. Rural communities and local CSOs are the driving force. Originally running from 2019 through 2024, MoMo4C will continue to strengthen its impact in 2025.
