The Center for Mediterranean Cooperation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN-Med), created in 2001, is located in the Technological Park of Andalusia, in Malaga, Spain. Its objective is to influence, encourage and help Mediterranean societies so that they succeed in reconciling the conservation of natural resources with their use and that they set up a model of sustainable development. IUCN-Med has over 200 members in the Mediterranean region formed by governments and non-governmental organizations. Since 2008, the Union has set up with its members a specific program for North Africa, in order to develop lines of work and priorities for the conservation, enhancement and good governance of biodiversity.
Currently, two funding methods exist on the basis of calls for projects: (1) the PPI OSCAN (Small Initiatives Program for Civil Society Organizations in North Africa) supports over a period of 3 years small and average CSOs in Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia, and is currently examining opportunities to include new countries such as Egypt. (2) TransCap supports projects over 18 months in the Moroccan provinces and Tunisian governorates bordered by the Mediterranean. For more information: 5.Projects – MUBADARAT (mubadarat-uicn.org)

This support is provided by a national coordinator based in each of the beneficiary countries and the responsible team at IUCN-Med.
