GBIF invites all current GBIF participants to submit concept notes for project funding through the Capacity Enhancement Support Programme (CESP), which enables collaboration between GBIF participants to address identified needs at regional and global levels.This call aligns with the GBIF Capacity Development Framework. It focuses on enhancing the long-term capacity of participants to benefit from and contribute to GBIF's mission to mobilize the data, skills and technologies needed to make comprehensive biodiversity information freely available for science and decisions addressing biodiversity loss and sustainable development.
Project proposals must target specific capacity needs identified by the participants themselves and be aligned with one or more priority areas in the GBIF Work Programme 2026. GBIF encourages all participants to complete a capacity self-assessment to help identify capacity strengths and needs.
