Focus Area

Capacity

We facilitate efforts to increase the technical and organizational capacity of TNCC and partners to undertake conservation and stewardship activities.

The TNCC works to identify partner capacity needs and facilitate opportunities for training, education and support to address these needs.

We monitor funding opportunities and bring new and existing funding opportunities to partners’ awareness.
