The project is implemented by the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) in partnership with the Conservation Strategy Fund (CSF). The Conservation Strategy Fund (CSF) is a US based non-profit organization that uses economics and strategic thinking to help conserve natural ecosystems around the globe. The program which is a 3 year project will support the on-going efforts to develop the Oil and Gas resources and NEMA by engaging the different government agencies, developers and stakeholders to create systemic conditions for infrastructure development. The program is designed to impact biodiversity conservation in the Albertine Rift to improve selection, design and mitigation of key infrastructural projects, build analytical capacity, technical knowledge and better policies, which together will determine the scale of biodiversity and social impacts of infrastructure decisions
