CESVI, an Italian NGO with long-standing operations in Mozambique, is coordinating its own work and that of three Mozambican CEPF grantees -- Kuwuka, LUPA and ORAM -- in the southern district of Matutuine. The four groups are working in 11 small communities to promote sustainable resource use and alternative livelihoods in the area surrounding the Futi Corridor, a protected landscape designed to create an elephant migration corridor across the border to South Africa. CESVI is building the capacity of its partner grantees, working with the local economic development authorities, and creating and strengthening formal community natural resource use committees per Mozambican law.

Strategic Direction: 1 Strengthen protection and management in undercapacitated and emerging protected areas in 3 priority key biodiversity areas
