National Biodiversity Strategy, Action Plan and Report to the CBD

The enabling project aims at determining current status of biodiversity, reasons of degradation, strategies and priority actions required for the sound use and conservation of biodiversity resources. A resource inventory will be drawn up in order to assess existing potential measures, and to identify gaps in biodiversity knowledge. Special focus will be given to the status of agrobiodiversity resources and impacts from livestock. The project will rely on extensive analysis, consultations and dialogues on issues pertaining to biodiversity. The NBSAP's main thrusts and provisions will address policies, strategies and actions aimed at conserving, managing and monitoring biodiversity. It will also identify entities responsible for the implementation of activities to be undertaken according to the strategy. The project will enhance participation of civil society through networking and public awareness programmes.
