THE UNITED Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) is hosting the 4th Regional Workshop for BIOFIN countries in Asia, the Pacific, and Europe from Sept. 11-13 in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. The event will have presentations of BIOFIN implementation and best practices alongside coaching sessions to improve biodiversity conservation funding at the country level. Participants will map out funding plans as well as develop innovative finance solutions. “One of the finance solutions requiring focus is that of public sector financing — in many countries, the government presents itself as a formidable source of funds; yet, certain inefficiencies and delivery patterns prove to be a challenge,” UNDP-BIOFIN said in a statement.
