The Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP) is a partnership of 10 conservation NGOs that seek better ways to design, manage, and measure the impacts of their conservation actions. CMP members have come together to work on issues related to impact assessment and accountability because we believe that, collectively, we have a greater chance of designing and implementing effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E;) systems and ultimately, enhancing program and project design and implementation. We believe that CMP will serve as a dynamic and active catalyst for promoting innovation in monitoring and evaluation in conservation. We have formed CMP with a mission to capture and convey conditions needed for successful biodiversity conservation and to resolve the conservation community’s most intractable M&E; problems.

Core members include the African Wildlife Foundation, Conservation International, The Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society, and World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund. Collaborators include The Cambridge Conservation Forum, Enterprise Works Worldwide, World Commission on Protected Areas/IUCN, Rare, and Foundations of Success.
