Grants

$325,000

The Environmental Law Institute (ELI) is a mid-size international organization that builds the capacity of judges and the legal establishment to understand, implement, and manage complex issues of environmental law and sustainable development. This grant strengthens institutional capacity for judicial decision-making and enforcement to conserve biodiversity in the tropical Andes by training judges to effectively interpret and enforce applicable international and domestic environmental law. ELI and its partners, Fundepublico in Colombia and the International Center for Environmental and Territorial Research (CIIAT) in Ecuador, are training the national judiciary in each country and lower courts in key watersheds using a “train the trainers” model to transfer program leadership from ELI to its in-country partners.
