Description
Source: Annexure D GBFF_MLL SA_CEO_ER_doc.pdf
Project Title: Reimagining National Parks for People and Nature – Leveraging Durable Financing Mechanisms for Mega Living Landscapes (MLL) to achieve Target 3 in South Africa.
GEF Project ID: 11588.
Executing Entity: South African National Parks (SANParks).
GEF Agency: WWF-US.
Project Duration: 72 months (6 years).
Total GEF Financing: USD 4,437,156.
Core Problem: Lack of sufficient and predictable long-term financing for the establishment and management of MLLs.
Objective: Catalyze transformative change by establishing social license for MLLs, securing durable financial mechanisms, and unlocking the biodiversity sector's potential for socio-economic transformation in ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, wildlife, and ecological restoration.
Expected Outcomes: Empower local communities in three MLLs to drive entrepreneurial ventures and access socio-economic benefits while expanding and improving the Protected Area Network.
Core Indicator Targets: Create 50,000 ha of new Terrestrial Protected Areas; improve management effectiveness over 892,750 ha; improve management of 40,000 ha of communal and private lands; directly benefit 27,465 people.

Output 3.1.1: Provide skills development and SMME incubation support for IP&LCs to be active participants and beneficiaries.
Output 3.2.1: Develop and implement a portfolio of inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development initiatives, creating MLL-based opportunities for local community enterprises, focusing on women-led and youth-led initiatives.
Component 4: Project Monitoring & Evaluation and Knowledge Management.
Output 4.1.1: Conduct project monitoring including independent mid-term and terminal evaluation.
Output 4.1.2: Deliver knowledge management products and activities.
Project Geography: Focus on three MLLs: Greater Addo (Eastern Cape), Greater Kruger (Barberton-Makhonjwa), and Eastern Grasslands (Eastern Cape bordering Lesotho).
Core Indicators: Deliver 50,000 ha of newly created Terrestrial Protected Areas; improve management effectiveness over 892,750 ha of Terrestrial Protected Areas; improve management of 40,000 ha of communal and private lands; directly benefit 27,465 people (40% men, 60% women).
Environmental Context: Address biodiversity loss, climate change impacts, pollution, unemployment, poverty, inequality, and land degradation.
Specific MLL Challenges: Address land degradation, habitat transformation, invasive species, and socio-economic hardships unique to each landscape.
Methodology
Source: Annexure D GBFF_MLL SA_CEO_ER_doc.pdf
Implement an adaptive, catalytic, and sustainable Landscape-level Financing Framework in each MLL.
Align diverse financial mechanisms (e.g., biodiversity credits, carbon financing, public-private partnerships) with conservation and socio-economic goals.
Use the Greater Kruger Finance Strategy as an exemplar, evolving with the landscape and scaling investments.
Conduct a complementary Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) feasibility study (co-financed by WWF) to secure all necessary funding at a single closing.
Use RAG (Red-Amber-Green) criteria to evaluate financial mechanisms based on scale of funding, sustainability, market appetite, regulatory alignment, and implementation feasibility.
Project components are structured into four key areas: Enabling conditions, Resource mobilisation, Increased IP&LCs participation, and Monitoring & Evaluation.
Future planning considers axes of uncertainty: level of climate change and socio-economic conditions.
The size and connectivity of MLLs offer mitigants against climate change impacts.
Experience & Qualifications
Source: Annexure D GBFF_MLL SA_CEO_ER_doc.pdf
The partner should build on existing partnerships and initiatives in each MLL:
Greater Addo: SANParks teams, Eastern Cape Parks & Tourism Agency (ECPTA), experience from Greater Kruger Funding Strategy, initiatives in tourism revenue, game products value chains, regenerative agriculture.
Eastern Grasslands: SANParks & WWF partnership towards Grasslands National Park declaration, Umzimvubu Catchment Partnership, community initiatives.
Barberton/Makhonjwa: Memorandum of Understanding with Care for Wild (CFW) for rhino rehabilitation, CFW's experience in raising philanthropic finance, strategic private sector partnerships.
Durable financing development will draw on:
CFW’s experience in raising philanthropic finance and strategic partnerships.
CFW’s co-management agreement with Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA).
CFW’s relationship with Barberton Chamber of Business for private sector expansion.
Initiatives related to carbon credits, biodiversity offsets, and specie bonds considered across landscapes.
Financial Requirements
Source: Annexure D GBFF_MLL SA_CEO_ER_doc.pdf (unknown)
SANParks primarily generates revenue through tourism (park entry fees, accommodation).
Historical and projected revenue analysis indicates growth areas and potential shortfalls.
National Treasury has deemed a significant increase in SANParks' Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) allocation not a priority.
Project Management Cost (PMC): GBFF 211,293.
Total Project Cost: 4,437,156.
Key drivers affecting financial sustainability include socio-economic conditions (e.g., mining, land degradation) and future climate change impacts (e.g., heat, flooding, fire).
Compliance Requirements
Source: Annexure D GBFF_MLL SA_CEO_ER_doc.pdf (unknown)
The project must align with National Development Plan goals to reduce unemployment, eradicate poverty, reduce inequality, and achieve a decent standard of living by 2030.
Must support the White Paper on Conservation and Sustainable Use of South Africa’s Biodiversity.
Must commit to meeting global environmental objectives, particularly the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) mission and Target 3 (30x30).
Requires an "all-of-society" approach involving the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), private sector, national and provincial authorities, local communities, NGOs, and other stakeholders.
Must focus on delivering inclusive socio-economic benefits for IP&LCs, including skills development, SMME incubation, and sustainable economic opportunities.
Environmental

Aligns with GBFF Action Areas: Contributing to GBF Target 3 (30x30); Providing direct support to IP&LC groups (Target 22); Resource mobilisation (Targets 18 and 19).
Project focuses on three MLLs in areas with impoverished communities lacking meaningful socio-economic benefits from biodiversity.
South Africa is megadiverse with high levels of endemic species but faces severe biodiversity loss, climate change vulnerability, and pollution.
Specific MLL Challenges:
Greater Addo: Land degradation from poor grazing and climate change; renewable energy impacts on wilderness and ecotourism; high poverty and unemployment.
Greater Kruger (Barberton-Makhonjwa): Habitat transformation from agriculture, mining, forestry, urban development; ecological degradation from poor grazing, fire management, invasive plants; legal and illegal mining issues.
Eastern Grasslands: Land degradation and soil erosion from invasive plants, bush encroachment, inappropriate grazing, fire management; high poverty, unemployment, legacy of migrant labour, low literacy and skills.
Barriers Addressed: Limited financial resources and diversity; inadequate institutional capacity for resource mobilisation; short-term planning; fragmentation between national and landscape-level planning; insufficient stakeholder engagement; insufficient participation and socio-economic benefits for IP&LCs.
