The overall project goal is to ensure the maintenance and enhancement of wetland biodiversity and environmental goods and services for improved local livelihoods, while the inmediate objective is to strengthen national and local capacity in ecosystem management and sustainable uses of wetland BD in Nepal. The two pilot demonstration sites were selected from among four wetland sites identified buy the PDFB document and represent two different types of tenure: one is a protected area and its buffer zone and the other is a national forest area.

The project would aim to strengthen the conservation of globally significant biodiversity to promote sustainable management of Guinea Bissau's coastal biodiversity for both conservation and sustainable development ends.

The global objective of the project is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas (GHG) in the Botswana power sector by removing barriers for large-scale dissemination of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology.

The project will assist the Government of Chile to conserve and sustainable manage marine and coastal biodiversity through the establishment of Multiple Use Marine Coastal Protected Areas (MUMPAs) in critical areas of the Chilean coast . Through this, the government's goal will be to remove barriers for the definition and implementation of an integrated management system for coastal/marine biodiversity and its biological resources.

Phase II of the project is designed to replicate the experience of phase I, especially to support the development of new EMCs in China by strengthening a EMC Service Group which is expected to develop into a self-sustaining EMC Association and by establishing a Guarantee Fund to provide partial risk guarantees to local financial institutions which lend to the EMCs.
