Résumé : In October 2010, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted a
Strategic Plan for Biodiversity. They agreed that by 2020 at least 17% of terrestrial
areas should be conserved within effectively managed protected areas. Currently, coverage
stands at 14.7%. Although this is a positive trend, an additional USD 9.2 to USD 85
billion is needed annually to expand and secure protected areas, especially in Africa.
In this context, governments and practitioners have repeatedly called for new and
innovative financial mechanisms to be explored that would complement official development
assistance, be predictable and stable. This study aims to unpack the potential benefits
and risks of innovative financial mechanisms at work in Africa through the analysis
of three case studies: an environmental trust fund created to finance the network
of protected areas in Côte d'Ivoire; a conservation concession agreement (and thereafter
a REDD-related private non-profit company) in the Gola Rainforest in Sierra Leone;
and a biodiversity stewardship and tax incentive approach developed in South Africa.
According to the study, essential financial and institutional innovations are at play
and, when public and private involvement are effectively combined, not only can innovative
financing contribute to more efficient management in and around protected areas, but
it can take place on a significant scale. In this regard, three significant findings
emerged: first, that private funding is a complement, rather than a substitute, to
public financial support; second, that co-ordination of private and public action
benefits from a contractual approach that favours conditionality; and third, this
contractual approach needs to be secured at the regulatory level. However, innovative
mechanisms remain complex and numerous stakeholders and conditional agreements generate
significant transaction costs. Furthermore, due to financial market unpredictability,
private funding might not be [source éditeur]
