the activities proposed for will allow for improvement on what has been done in phase I, hence the continuity and complementarity of climate change enabling activities in Uganda.

The overall objective of this project is to contribute to sustainable development through the integration of adaptation and/or mitigation measures to respond to the negative effects of climate change, within the general planning and strategy formulation processes in the various socio-economic and technical sectors. The immediate specific objective of this project is to facilitate the preparation of the initial National Communication of Sao Tome to the Conference of Parties, in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 of the UNFCCC.

These funds are requested to undertake additional activities to fulfill the commitments under the UNFCCC. These interim funds are also requested to help maintain and enhance the capacity of Sri Lankan institutions and experts in anticipation of preparing the Second National Communication on Climate Change in the future.

Phase II is intended to provide for the continuity of the National Climate Change Programme in The Bahamas by addressing weaknesses and areas not covered by the initial efforts. In many ways this is testament to the fact that national capacity as a result of training and awareness, has been enhanced to the point where the strengths and weaknesses of the initial Enabling Activity’s project design have been identified.

This is Strategic Partnership consisting of capital investments, economic instruments, development and enforcement of environmental law and policy, strengthening of public participation, and monitoring of trends and compliance over the period of 2001-2007 for the countries of the Danube/Black Sea basin.

The objective of the project is to strengthen national capacity to manage persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and to assist countries in meeting their obligations under the Stockholm POPs Convention. The project will assist twelve pilot countries in developing a National Implementation Plan (NIP) for POPs management, thus enabling them to reduce and eventually eliminate their POPs emissions. These NIPs are expected to meet the initial reporting obligations of these countries towards the Convention.
