The project’s goal is to generate global environmental benefits through the creation of an enabling policy environment at the national level and through the establishment of coordination mechanisms at the focal point agencies. This will enable the country to implement its commitments to the UNCCD, UNCBD and UNFCCC in a coordinated and cost-effective manner.

The NCSA will review three thematic areas - biodiversity, climate change, and land degradation – and address the linkages between them. There will be particular emphasis on further identifying cross-cutting issues and enhancing synergies among the relevant MEAs and regional initiatives. The NCSA Project also identifies opportunities to reinforce and strengthen existing institutions, mechanisms and processes to create a sustainable institutional framework and process for continuous assessment and improvement of national capacities for effective environmental management.

The goal of the project is to contribute to the development of capacities for strategic planning on sustainable land management through the improvement of knowledge, awareness and institutional capacities to combat land degradation and desertification. The objective of the project is to assist 55 countries to enhance their capacities to prepare their third national reports to the UNCCD CRIC-5 and COP 8 in a participatory and self-evaluative manner. The project will specifically undertake the following: 1. Update the second national reports 2. Provide a country profile 3.

The proposed MSP will create a new policy coordination structure (an organizational entity) and mechanism (representational committee) by streamlining the existing multiple and overlapping ones. This new structure and mechanism will facilitate and catalyze the strategic review of Belize’s many environmental policies with the aim of maximizing synergies and efficiencies to conserve biodiversity, adapt to and mitigate impacts of climate change, and reduce land degradation.

The project goal is the conservation and sustainable use of the globally significant biodiversity of the Socotra Archipelago. The project objective is that biodiversity management considerations are mainstreamed effectively into the process of "decentralizing governance for development" on Socotra. The success of the mainstreaming efforts will be assessed by if and how the future spatial plan incorporates biodiversity information as well as through the number of public and private sector developments in breach of the spatial plan.

The project’s overall goal is to enhance Nicaragua's capacity for global environmental management through effective application of environmental legislation at the national and local level, and the training of key actors in the compliance with signed and ratified international agreements.

The project's goal is to expand Romania’s capacity to generate global environment benefits through mainstreaming the Rio Conventions into national decision-making. The main objectives are to strengthen systemic, institutional and individual capacity to integrate Rio Convention themes into national, regional18 and local decision-making.

The overall objective of the project is to develop policy-relevant capacity for implementation of the global environmental conventions. -Policy and institutional reform is informed by the relevant Global Environment issues -Strengthening capacity of policy organizations in mainstreaming the concepts of the Rio conventions in national policy making -Strengthening the capacity of the research institutions in developing and conducting policy-oriented research related to the Rio Conventions

The Project Objective is to integrate local and global environmental management and enhance the capacity to implement global environmental management objectives within national programmes. This focuses on mainstreaming global objectives at the operational level.
