The Coastal East Africa Network Initiative (CEA NI) is one of fourteen large-scale programmes
that the WWF Network is embarking on in order to achieve transformational change by working
at local, national and international scales, linking work on the ground with advocacy work and
engagement.

The vision for the CEA NI is that Coastal East Africa’s unique and globally significant natural
resource base provides the essential goods and services that support biodiversity as well as
economic development and the livelihoods of present and future generations.

In order to achieve this vision, WWF will work with Governments and other key partners in the
region (Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique), and trans-boundary to implement the following
strategies:
- Support the development of institutions and policies for effective governance of
natural resource use
- Engaging stakeholders for the development of the sustainable trade of natural
resources – focusing on shrimp, tuna and timber
- Securing high conservation value areas, through a number of initiatives, including
community-based conservation, land use planning and REDD activities

The NI leader will provide dynamic leadership in the development and implementation of this
ambitious and high profile Network Initiative which will be implemented across the region over
the next 10-15 years.
