The ChanceMaker Foundation has been supporting the enablers of Fairventures Worldwide (FVW) since 2022, linking the two organisations in a long-term partnership that is reflected in the way they support each other and in their mutual understanding. In this blog post, we take a closer look at the partnership from both perspectives.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

“Good forests are climate solutions”<\/strong> \u2013 the vision of FVW aligns perfectly with the guiding principles of the ChanceMaker Foundation. The foundation’s aim is to promote a just and liveable future in which all people can lead a self-determined life within planetary boundaries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Both organisations share the conviction that people, nature and animals should develop and flourish together in an intact ecosystem. Fairventures’ approach of creating both environmental and socio-economic benefits through sustainable forestry is in line with the ChanceMaker Foundation’s philosophy of promoting interlinked and holistic actions that turn disadvantaged people into ChanceMakers for a sustainable world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

The essence of any close collaboration is a shared trust in the same vision and a common understanding of each other’s needs and expectations. In this case, both organisations understand that tackling the interlinked challenges of poverty, climate change and biodiversity loss requires innovative solutions that combine ecological regeneration with the creation of sustainable livelihoods for local communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The essentiality of long-term planning for sustainable change<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

One of the most important advantages for FVW is the long-term planning security provided by the ChanceMaker Foundation’s multi-year support. The ChanceMaker Foundation focuses on supporting the entire organisation and not just individual, narrowly defined activities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

It is important to mention that the funds are not used without proof. Rather, a certain flexibility in the use of funds allows FVW to react to unexpected changes – because, unfortunately, theory does not always work in practice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

A concrete example is the increasing variability of weather cycles in countries such as Uganda. Unpredictable rainfall makes it difficult to plan plantings. FVW wants to be able to respond quickly and in a solution-oriented manner to local conditions – sadly, that kind of activities are often only possible to a limited extent within rigid budgets with strict spending criteria.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Of course, the long-term goals of the organisation and strategic considerations also play a role:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
