Clearing House Mechanism Enabling Activity
This project will assist the national Government to meet its obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity.
Reducing Biodiversity Loss at Cross-Border Sites in East Africa
Activities include the development and implementation of processes that bring together traditional local and modern agency perspectives on a range of activities including land use and tenure systems, resource and biodiversity values, management systems, decision making systems, and associated incentives, regulatory structures and policy instruments. Success will be dependent on the development of a fully participatory and cooperative process of learning, exchange and sharing of information.
Conservation Priority-Setting for the Upper Guinea Forest Ecosystems, West Africa
The project will provide national decision-makers with access to accurate, up-to-date scientific information on the ecosystem's biotic resources, and identify priority conservation actions at the national and regional level. It will strengthen national level capacities, support human resource development, and provide a framework for cross-national collaboration and regional integration.
Western Indian Ocean Islands Oil Spill Contingency Planning
PDF funded a joint petroleum industry/government planning seminar, and associated follow-up work to prepare a project designing national and sub-regional contingency plans for oil spill containment and treatment to respond to spills of differing size, location and degree of threat; provision of basic training and equipment to execute plans at the national and sub-regional levels; design of mechanisms to ensure financial and operational sustainability.
Implementation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) of the Pacific Small Island Developing States
The long-term objective of this project is to conserve and sustainably manage the coastal and ocean resources in the Pacific Region. Project activities are designed to encourage comprehensive, cross-sectoral, ecosystem based approaches to mitigate and prevent existing imminent threats to International Waters. The SAP provides a regional framework within which actions are identified, developed and implemented. Targeted actions will be carried out in two complementary, linked consultative contexts: Integrated Coastal and Watershed Management (ICWM) and Oceanic Fisheries Management (OFM).
Efficient Lighting Initiative (Tranche I)
Advances in lighting technology have created new products (such as compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs) which promise significant economic and environmental benefits through large increases in energy efficiency. In many developing countries, these new, efficient lighting products still face significant barriers to wide-spread acceptance.
Emergency Response Measure to Combat Fires in Indonesia and to Prevent Regional Haze in South East Asia
The project will assist Indonesia and its neighboring countries in coordinating their regional efforts to mitigate the short-term impacts of forest fires. It aims to develop a national and regional strategy and adopt appropriate concrete measures to combat forest fires, including the establishment of an early warning system, building on existing capacities.
Management of Indigenous Vegetation for the Rehabilitation of Degraded Rangelands in the Arid Zone of Africa
The objective of this demonstration project is to conserve and rehabilitate globally significant biodiversity in three African dryland areas. Activities proposed under the project include (a) establishment and strengthening of appropriate indigenous management systems; (b) establishment of a regional arid zone biodatabase; © rehabilitation of indigenous vegetation and degraded lands; (d) improvement in livestock production and marketing, and provision of alternative livelihood; (e) technology transfer and training; and (f) targeted research.
Development of Best Practices and Dissemination of Lessons Learned for Dealing with the Global Problem of Alien Species that Threaten Biological Diversity
The objective of this project is to examine current tools and approaches that are utilized to recognize, evaluate and mitigate against invasive species in order to determine best practices and to disseminate this information. This project takes a comprehensive approach to the invasive species problem, i.e., a scientifically-based global strategy and action plan. However, the specific aspects of the project for which GEF funding is requested relate only to a portion of the global strategy for dealing with invasives, i.e. that of defining and disseminating the best practices.
Global Environmental Citizenship (GEC)
This project will generate public awareness, increase levels of understanding of global environmental issues and mobilize support in Latin American countries for the objectives of the GEF operational programmes. The result will facilitate broad-based support for these objectives by relating them to the individual concerns of citizens, in order to foster a greater commitment to voluntary action that would be needed to guarantee the sustainability of GEF-funded measures within those programs. This will create an enabling environment for national decision making and action on GEF focal areas.
