National Biodiversity Strategy, Action Plan and Country Report to the COP

The enabling activity project will help the Executive Secretary for the Environment, relevant government ministries, municipal councils, NGOs, local communities and research institutions to formulate a National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP) and country report to the COP. The BSAP will determine the current status of, pressures on, options and priority actions to ensure conservation and sustainable use of the country’s biodiversity. The enabling activity will be conducted in conformity with the third National Development Plan and will allow biodiversity to be integrated with existing frameworks such as the PANA and Desertification Control Plan. The BSAP process will involve representatives from different sectors of the society, and it will include the organization of two national workshops and 9 regional workshops.
