The MPA Capacity Community of Practice (CoP) is a global network of partners working to strengthen capacity for effective and equitable marine area management through systems thinking and coordinated portfolios of action that align learning, investment, and collaboration across the conservation sector. The MPA Capacity CoP along with the Blue Nature Alliance and Colorado State University’s Center for Protected Area Management, is hosting a three-part webinar series focused on understanding what makes MPA capacity development programs effective over time. Each 90-minute session will feature two capacity development programs sharing case studies on their models, implementation journeys, and the factors that have enabled long-term sustainability and impact. Insights from the series will contribute to a synthesis “blue paper” developed through the MPA Capacity CoP, helping to distill lessons learned that can be shared widely and inform future investment and practice in MPA capacity.
