NEAP guidance for Resource Mobilisation

This Guidance Note aims to provide all the necessary information for relevant national authorities to engage multilateral and bilateral donors, international financing institutions and other funding partners to fill resourcing gaps.

Monitoring & Evaluation Framework

This manual is to assist in the design and use of monitoring and evaluation plans for the implementation of NEAPs, to assess whether actions and activities under the NEAP are meeting the objectives and their targets.

Law Enforcement Guidance

Publications on research and reports relating to enforcement - including guides on improving or drafting new legislation and using existing laws to their best effect - all aiming to support a sound criminal justice response to wildlife crime. 

The EPI

The Elephant Protection Initiative, the African Elephant Action Plan that it seeks to implement, and the simple pledge letters that can be signed to take up the founding members' invitation to join them make the objectives of the Initiative a global reality.
