Background
The East African Community (EAC), in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is addressing critical biodiversity threats such as climate change, deforestation, and illegal wildlife trade through the management of transboundary conservation areas (TBCAs). These shared ecosystems, spanning multiple countries, are vital for livelihoods and regional economies but require coordinated conservation strategies. Despite progress with initiatives like the EAC Transboundary Conservation Areas Network, the Secretariat faces significant capacity gaps, particularly in Natural Resources Management expertise.
