Overview
The Go Green Fund is a non-profit grant-making fund that was established by Nedbank Namibia to enhance conservation and the protection of important habitats and natural resources in Namibia. It is an environmental fund that aims to support individuals and organisations in Namibia that are working towards a more sustainable future. The objectives of the fund, and the criteria for applications to the fund, are set out below:
Objectives of the fund
The Go Green Fund focuses its support on initiatives that:
- support the conservation, protection and wise management of important habitats and indigenous plant and animal species
- enhance the understanding of indigenous species and natural ecosystems, specifically where this relates to an urgent conservation problem
- promote efficient and appropriate use of natural resources, with the clear aim of ensuring that their long-term use is sustainable
- provide and disseminate good-quality information on environmental issues and parameters to the community/nation at large
(Please note: applications for the Go Green Fund will be treated on an extremely competitive basis and new applications should be very accurately and extensively motivated and show clearly how the stated objectives of the fund will be met. An average of between three and five projects will be considered for funding per annum, depending on funds raised, and funding will be provided to the best-motivated projects. If no appropriate proposals are submitted, no funding will be granted and the available funds will be carried over to the following year.)
