About the course


The WWF Conservation Community Enterprises (CCE) E-learning courseĀ combines the knowledge from the Nature Pays Practitioner Guide with additional business concepts and tools, providing practitioners with the knowledge and capacity to drive and support community resilience through CCE models which will contribute to long-term sustainability and resilient diversified livelihoods.

WWF practitioners, corporates, or organizations working with Community Conservation Enterprises in any sector can gain skills to build a more resilient future for local communities.

This course has been co-created by WWF's Nature Pays and Impact Hub, and compiles learning from seven cohorts delivered from 2020-2022 to 334 practitioners, reaching 40% of WWF's network. Now adapted in a more flexible format, the e-learning courseĀ equips practitioners with tools to support their work, at their own pace.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This programme will help you:
  • Holistically understand what kind of support a CCE needs
  • Apply business tools with a CCE you work with
  • Understand your own role in how to support CCEs

Through a combination of theoretical knowledge, case studies and practical tools, we aim to empower quick implementation of the insights gained. You'll develop a basic understanding of how to provide business support to CCEs, how to assess CCE needs, and how to build up a support network of collaborators inside and outside your organization to sustain CCEs in the longer term.

Time commitment

The course is divided into 8 modules made up of short videos, quizzes, and tool instructions. The total course will take around 10 hrs to complete, but the modular approach enables you to divide up your learning in a way that suits you. You can also learn on mobile or desktop PC.
