CARE-WWF Learning Briefs
In 2008, the CARE-WWF Alliance embarked on a unique strategic partnership that seeks to realize coequal conservation and development objectives. The CARE-WWF Alliance seeks to ensure that communities, including poor women, have the knowledge, capacities and will to hold local leaders and government agency duty-bearers accountable for implementing policies and enforcing laws that contribute to livelihood security and ecosystem health.
