In 2020 TNC launched the Santiago-Maipo Water Fund that brings together private and public sectors to invest in long-term conservation to boost water security for the Maipo basin. This mechanism provides a platform that scales impact by linking conservation projects to a network of stakeholders engaging them in collective action and ensuring long-term sustainability through shared governance. Our more than 30 Water Funds created in the Latinamerica region, has proven that these are the ideal mechanisms to implement conservation projects at different scales and levels of intervention, giving solution to the four mayor challenges that TNC and partners identified:
• Decrease in the availability of surface and groundwater in quantity and quality
• Increased water risks caused by extreme events
• Inefficiency in the use of water
• Deficiency in the Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the Maipo River Basin
