The overall goal of the project is to conserve the biodiversity attributes of Chu Yang Sin in the long term and developing integrated watershed and biodiversity management at a broader scale.

The project resulting from the project development activities proposed herein, is expected to be a regional initiative to promote the conservation and sustainable use of globally outstanding mangrove ecosystems in the American tropics.

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 catalyzing domestic and/or externally assisted action to meet those needs in a coordinated and planned manner.

In general, and in the light of global and national environmental challenges and objectives, the NCSA will enable Djibouti to better take into account its transversal needs and better identify the potential advantages, which may derive from a coordinated and synergic approach.

The objectives of NAPAs are: To serve as simplified and direct channels of communication for information relating to the urgent and immediate needs for adaptation. To facilitate capacity building for the preparation of initial national communications, and addressing urgent and immediate adaptation needs, in particular those which have direct relevance with poverty alleviation.

The Overall objective of the NCSA will be to consolidate capacity building efforts involved in the implementation of the three sister conventions, identify capacity constraints and needs, opportunities, key priority areas for action, strategies and programmes. All these activities will be done through a participatory process, including consultations with key actors in the sector.

The Parks Congress is the largest, most important and authoritative gathering of conservation professionals that is instrumental in setting the policy for the world’s PAs. 44,000 protected areas cover 10% of the Earth’s land surface. They provide people around the world with live-sustaining material, spiritual, and recreational values. They provide water, protect soils, and filter air. They offer materials from nature to meet the needs of local communities. They hold the promise of improving foods and medicines from their unexplored genetic resources.

The general objective of this project is to assess the national capacities to manage the global environment in the CAR. The project will determine the gaps in, constraints to and priorities for the creation, development and reinforcement of individual, institutional and systemic capacities to better manage environmental resources in order to preserve them while using them sustainably to support the national development effort and the fight against poverty.
