Fundraising and Proposal Writing Workshop
Three Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve (CWBR) team members attended a very special event in May 2023.
Representatives, including biosphere reserve CEO’s, team-members, project leaders, and AfriMAB Youth, from all ten South African biosphere reserves and the new Chimanimani biosphere reserve in Zimbabwe gathered in Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve for a workshop on fundraising and proposal writing to improve the sustainability of biosphere reserves. It was an invaluable week with an incredible amount learned from the Sustainable Development Network/ African Sustainability Academy, who led the facilitation, as well as guest speakers. In addition, the peer-to-peer knowledge exchange between biosphere reserves.
The event was made possible by the UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa and the Be Resilient South Africa Project.
The knowledge gained will be shared with the rest of the CWBR facilitating team, as part of a Fundraising and Proposal Workshop in July, to introduce them to, and capacitate them in, proposal writing and fundraising.
