Community Markets For Conservation

Community Markets for Conservation, COMACO, is a novel, emerging company in Zambia that is pioneering an innovative way of making markets and conservation work together. It produces IT'S WILD, a special brand of organic, value-added processed products that come from the rural farmers who live with wildlife. Urban consumers buy these products and in doing so, pay for the cost of rewarding small-scale farmers for supporting conservation.

Far from it, it is happening and on a scale that is beginning to impress even the most sceptical!

The Dream Factory Tdf

The Dream Factory is an independent think tank and ecosystem enabler for social entrepreneurship and innovation, championing sustainable development by creating an enabling environment that empowers social entrepreneurs, social innovators, and key stakeholders to design and scale solutions, drive systemic change, and close critical gaps within the ecosystem. OUR VISION: A Zambia where social entrepreneurs and innovators have the essential skills, resources, networks, recognition platforms, and enabling policies to scale solutions that drive sustainable development and systemic change. OUR MISSION: Building ecosystems where innovators and social entrepreneurs thrive and systemic change becomes possible. OUR MANTRAS- Dream. Build. Scale- Greatness Doesn’t Quit! PROBLEM WE ADDRESS: Across Zambia, social entrepreneurs and innovators have bold solutions to pressing challenges: from poverty and unemployment to environmental degradation and healthcare gaps. However, they face five systemic barriers: 1. Limited essential skills – gaps in essential skills and other core competencies needed to design, launch, and scale impactful solutions. Lack of funding & investment readiness – many are unable to access capital or meet investor requirements. Weak networks & limited recognition – resulting in low visibility, credibility, and partnership opportunities. Policy and institutional gaps – few enabling frameworks or tools exist to support innovation at scale. Fragmented ecosystems – key players (government, private sector, academia, and civil society) work in isolation. Without intervention, many treat “changemaking” as a side passion rather than a viable career, leaving high-potential solutions underdeveloped, underfunded, and unsustained. OUR SOLUTION – The SCALE Model: To bridge these gaps, The Dream Factory developed the SCALE Model, our impact framework that empowers changemakers to turn bold ideas into sustainable impact.
