Conservation Partnership Initiative
The Conservation Partnership Initiative (CPI) is a voluntary program
established to foster conservation partnerships that focus technical and
financial resources on conservation priorities in watersheds of special
significance and other geographic areas of environmental sensitivity.
Under CPI, funds are awarded to State and local governments and agencies; Indian
tribes; and non-governmental organizations that have a history of working with
agricultural producers. The CPI is a component of the Conservation
Technical Assistance (CTA) program, established under authorities provided by
the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act of 1935, 16 U.S.C. 590a et
seq. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers
CPI.
