L’Agence Française de Développement (AFD) and Conservation International have signed an agreement for grant funds of US$38 million for a 10-year project funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and focused on building resilience to climate change in the communities of the Indian Ocean Islands. 

AFD—an Accredited Entity of the GCF—is managing the funds for the project, and the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) will implement the project on behalf of Conservation International.
