Investment Mobilized from the CSO, Saguda Palawan, Inc. covers funds from various non-government sources (i.e. philanthropic organizations, grant mechanisms of international organizations and private companies, and other donors) that are downloaded to and managed by Saguda to support activities in the TRNP. These funds are allocated for specific activities, implemented and monitored by the TRNP Management Office. Investment Mobilized from Donor Agencies (EU, USAID, KfW, GIZ) are relevant portions of donor funding that will support the implementation of the complementary or parallel project approaches (i.e., MPA management, ICM implementation, sustainable fisheries, knowledge management) in the same candidate sites, seascape, or LMEs of concern as the ASEAN ENMAPS.

Investment Mobilized from ACB comes from various donors of biodiversity conservation projects in the participating countries with parallel components as the ASEAN ENMAPS, of which project funds are being managed by the ACB under a Grant Agreement instrument. These projects will run during the duration of this GEF-supported project. Further consultations will be conducted with partners and additional co-financing will be identified during the PPG
