- Effectiveness of Actions : It is essential that projects financed by the Amazon Fund are effective in promoting environmental conservation and improving the quality of life of local populations, ensuring that resources are applied strategically and with tangible results.
- Partnerships and Governance : Collaboration between different actors, such as state and municipal governments, civil society organizations and local communities, is fundamental to the success of initiatives financed by the Fund. Furthermore, good governance is essential to ensure coordination and alignment of actions.
- Financial Sustainability : To ensure the continuity of conservation actions in the long term, it is important to seek financial sustainability mechanisms, diversifying sources of resources and promoting the development of sustainable economic activities in the region.
These points must be taken into consideration to ensure that the Amazon Fund fulfills its role of promoting sustainable development in the region, respecting the environment and local communities, and ensuring the support and trust of international donors.
