The National Capacity Self Assessment (NCSA) for global environmental management will enable Liberia to identify priority needs across the three conventions, and discern cross-cutting capacity-building requirements as the government re-establishes an environmental management framework within the country.

The objective of the National Capacity Needs Self-Assessment (NCSA) is to identify country level priorities and needs for capacity building to address global environmental issues, in particular biological diversity, climate change, and land degradation, and the synergies between them, with the aim of catalysing domestic and/or externally assisted action to meet those needs in a coordinated and planned manner.

The objective of this Enabling Activities proposal is to build and strengthen national capacity and to enhance knowledge and understanding amongst decision makers, industrialists, NGOs and the general population on POPs. This will lead to the preparation of a National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the Stockholm Convention on POPs, and endorsement by all stakeholders in Gabon. By achieving this objective, Gabon will be in a position to manage the reduction and elimination of POPs and to fulfil the Stockholm Convention reporting and other obligations.

The overall objective of the proposed Enabling Activities (EA) is to strengthen national capacity and capability to prepare a National Implementation Plan (NIP) for the management of POPs. This plan will provide a basic and essential level of information to enable policy and strategic decisions to be made and identify priority activities that Seychelles should undertake in order to meet the requirements of the Stockholm Convention. It will be endorsed by all stakeholders prior transmission to the Conference of Parties (COP).

The objective of the project is to strengthen capacity and build ownership in Pakistan to meet its obligations under the Stockholm Convention, including preparation of a POPs National Implementation Plan. The National Implementation Plan describes how Pakistan will meet its obligations under the Convention to phase-out POPs sources and manage POPs contaminated sites. The project will enable Pakistan to ratify the Stockholm Convention and become a Party to the same.

The objective of this Enabling Activities (EA) proposal is to build and strengthen national capacities and to enhance knowledge of decision makers, industrialists, NGOs and the general population on POPs.

The objective of this project is to facilitate the development of private conservation initiatives that will contribute to globally-significant biodiversity conservation in high-priority eco-regions. This will be done through strengthening the regulatory and incentives framework, testing innovative conservation initiatives on four pilot sites, strengthening the technical capacity of private landowners, and disseminating the lessons learned throughout Bolivia and Latin America.

25.The overall goal of the National Capacity Self-Assessment project is to provide Kenya with the opportunity to take the lead in articulating its own capacity needs and priorities with respect to the global environment, taking into account the three global conventions on biodiversity, climate change and desertification/land degradation.
