The Fynbos Programme coordinates the partnership programme, Cape Action for People and the Environment (CAPE). The CAPE programme has been running for 10 years, enabled by the pooling of resources by the 23 signatory partners from government and civil society, and significant donor funding. 2010 saw a triumphant end to the “Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Development” project, which had been funded by the Global Environmental Facility through the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme. Mandy Barnett, Programme Director, said "the achievements of this project are extraordinary, and will lay a foundation for conservation activities throughout the country, and on which we hope to build for years to come”.
