Old 21 - Ethiopia Hosts 5th African Elephant Fund Steering Committee
Friday 11th September 2015 will be the first day of the 5th African Elephant Fund Steering Committee, which will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority has gracefully accepted to host the event.
This meeting will be the occasion to review the status of implementation of current projects, and a chance to evaluate newly submitted proposals for further funding.
This year, the AEF Secretariat received project proposals from all four regions, totaling fourteen (14) proposals to date.
The AEFSC meeting will be a platform for African Elephant Range States to discuss various objectives for member states to increase understanding and consensus on addressing wildlife issues, including the establishment of relevant partnerships with other actors in the field.
Range States will also discuss the UNEA 1 Resolution on the Illegal Trade in Wildlife as well as address ways by which the AEF could increase its visibility and public awareness.
The meeting is scheduled to end on Saturday 12th September.
