Dr. Lynn Von Hagen and Sean Ploysa of DZCA have been on the ground in Rwanda and Uganda training field rangers and conservation teams from our partner organizations: the Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association and the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Project, and other partners including Queen Elizabeth National Park. When our partners identified a critical need, we listened. Their field teams are working miles from the nearest hospital, in landscapes shared with buffalo, elephants, and lions, and expressed a need for basic first aid and CPR training. Over two and a half weeks, across two countries and multiple partner organizations, DZCA trained over 80 individuals in lifesaving skills. This is what meaningful partnership looks like. Not just sharing resources, but sharing expertise, building trust, and showing up for the people on the front lines of conservation every single day. @RwandaWildlife #SavingWildlifeTogether #Rwanda #Uganda #DenverZooConservationAlliance #DZCA #FieldConservation #AfricaConservation #CapacitySharing

Institutional Growth: Mercy Corps’ Country Director emphasized that Mercy Corps always ensures coverage of local partners’ support costs, including under milestone-based fixed amount contracts. In these contracts, personnel costs may not appear as separate budget lines because they are embedded within the activities, but they are still covered as part of the milestone value. Localization & De-risking: Mercy Corps' New Initiatives and Partnerships Manager discussed the importance of including local private sector actors when talking about localization, as the work Mercy Corps does in de-risking their access in last mile markets, emphasizing the importance of working through and strengthening existing local structures and supporting businesses through mentorship. We look forward to continued productive discussions at Mercy Corps. #localization #capacitysharing

Day 2: Deep Dive into Inclusive Project Cycle Management! Today, we were privileged to host Kevin Sudi, program manager from CBM Global, who led a fantastic session on Inclusive Project Cycle Management (IPCM). Kevin really showed us how important IPCM is for making sure no one is left behind in development projects. We gained practical insights into including everyone at every step of the project cycle. This knowledge will significantly help us further ensure dignified lives for the communities we serve. Stay tuned for more updates on our journey to strengthen capacity and promote inclusion! #DisabilityInclusion #CapacitySharing #IPCM #NONDO #CBMGlobal

[P] ✍🏾 Selon @martinenib, Directrice Pays de @FLMBurundi, la sélection de ces 5 OSCs a été faite à partir d'un appel d'offres, avec des critères bien précis, pour que la formation soit réellement bénéfique pour les personnes qui font quotidiennement ce travail dans les OSCs 👥 Elle a ajouté: "Ce projet se concentrera davantage sur la pratique que sur la théorie. Il y aura des échanges d'expériences entre les formateurs venus d'ONGs internationales, FLM et les participants sélectionnés" 🎯 Au terme de ce projet, il est attendu que ces OSCs deviennent plus autonomes et durables dans leurs activités, bien sûr grâce aux compétences acquises #FLM #ThinkDifferent #Localise #CivilSociety #CapacitySharing #Burundi

[P] 💰 Financé par ELCW, ce projet coïncide avec l'ouverture du FLM Hub, qui sera un espace dédié aux OSCs pour aller dans la logique de la nouvelle Strategie FLM 2025-2031, qui promeut le partenariat égal et responsable 👥 10 membres issus de ces 5 OSCs locales, soit 2 pour chaque organisation, y participeront #FLM #ThinkDifferent #Localise #CivilSociety #CapacitySharing #Burundi

[P] 🔰 La @FLMBurundi a lancé ce 14/02/2025 le projet "Soutien au renforcement des capacités de la société civile", LOCALISE 🧑🏽‍🏫 Ce projet offrira notamment 6 mois de formations à 5 organisations non gouvernementales basées à #Bujumbura, à savoir @girimbabazi_bdi, @yeliburundi, L-Tofa, @Spring_Cmties et @burundi_spdh. Celles-ci bénéficieront du renforcement de capacités en réponse aux besoins qu'elles ont exprimés: renforcement des capacités en #fundraising (mobilisation des ressources), en gestion des projets/suivi-évaluation et gestion des Finances #FLM #ThinkDifferent #Localise #CivilSociety #CapacitySharing #Burundi

Capacity Building vs Capacity Sharing. I have long observed the dynamics of conservation efforts and the way we approach capacity building in environmental and wildlife conservation. At WildlifeDirect we practice "capacity sharing’ which crucial for addressing the unbalanced playing field in global conservation efforts. For too long, the view has been dominated by an image of a begging Africa and the unilateral flow of resources, knowledge, and expertise from the Global North to the Global South. It’s normal to see foreigners making films about our lands and wildlife, leading conservation initiatives, or serving as the primary trainers and donors in our regions. While well-intentioned, this dynamic often perpetuates an unspoken class divide – the haves (givers) and the have-nots (receivers) which entrenches a colonial mindset. This post is not to undermine the value of international support; rather, it's to challenge the way we conceptualize and implement these efforts. I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their geographic or economic background, has equal amounts to give and share – and it’s not always about money. Knowledge, experiences, cultural insights, and innovative solutions are just as valuable, particularly in our shared mission to conserve wildlife and protect our planet. Our approach to capacity sharing is built on the premise of mutual respect and equality. When we engage with international trainers, interns, or partners, we do so as equal counterparts. Whether it’s trainers in the Safari StoryLab, film productions, interns, or work placements, we ensure that an exchange on equal terms is the backbone of our efforts. This means that every participant, regardless of their origin, is both a teacher and a learner. We are not just receiving knowledge and skills; we are also imparting our local expertise, perspectives, and understanding of conservation, which are invaluable to the global effort. By putting “capacity sharing” into language, we are redefining the narrative around development. We are creating a more equitable and inclusive environment where the voices and contributions of those on the frontline of conservation are valued and amplified. This approach not only enriches the conservation efforts themselves but also fosters a sense of ownership and pride among local communities, ensuring that conservation initiatives are sustainable and deeply rooted in the context they aim to serve. While filming at Ol Kinyei in Maasai Mara recently, partnering with the community was key. This post is a call to action for those involved in conservation storytelling about Africa’s spectacular natural wealth. Let’s challenge ourselves to rethink how we collaborate across borders, cultures, and disciplines. Let’s create a more balanced playing field that closes the gap in opportunity, benefits, and equity as a powerful way of achieving our conservation goals. #CapacitySharing #ConservationResults #RespectLocalKnowledge
