Banc D'Arguin, And Coastal And Marine Biodiversity Trust Fund Limited focuses on long-term financing for marine and coastal biodiversity conservation in Mauritania, especially around the Banc d'Arguin and Diawling protected areas. It supports both local civil society/cooperatives and protected-area management institutions, with an emphasis on community livelihoods that align with conservation, environmental education, sanitation, surveillance, and ecological monitoring. This is a highly place-based funder that appears to prioritize practical, on-the-ground activities that strengthen protected-area governance and benefit nearby communities.
Issues targeted grants through two program windows: small grants for local civil society organizations/cooperatives and grants for protected-area management institutions. Funding appears to be invitation- or call-based rather than open to unsolicited proposals, with an annual call for AMP institutions in June and small grants offered in rounds; grants are small-scale for community initiatives, while institutional grants cover recurring costs and priority activities.

Do not submit unsolicited proposals. Watch for the annual June call for AMP institutions and any round-based small-grants announcements for OSCs and cooperatives active in PNBA or PND. Applications should be tightly aligned to the fund’s conservation-plus-livelihood mission, especially activities that support surveillance, governance, education, sanitation, or sustainable local livelihoods in the beneficiary protected areas.
