Partners
PACT’s internal capacity development and institutional growth also created opportunities to work in partnership with local, regional, and international entities. These partnerships further enable PACT’s support of the Belize National Protected Areas System while also establishing the Trust’s reputation as a global leader in sustainable development.
PACT has institutional partnerships, via Memorandum of Understanding, with the following agencies:
