Demand Side Management Demonstration
Strengthening of the institutional capabilities of Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo), and implementation of an integrated approach to energy conservation. JPSCo. will acquire the necessary information and data to develop sustainable programs that overcome market barriers to energy conservation. Mechanisms to address these barriers will be tested, and evaluation results will be used to design full scale sustainable long-term energy efficiency programs.
Biomass Power Commercial Demonstration
Building on the technological advances gained under the UNDP-implemented Pilot Phase GEF project, a public-private consortium will demonstrate biomass integrated gasification/gas turbine technology for co-generation of electricity at a commercial scale. The 30 MW demonstration plant will run on wood chip fuel from plantation forests.
Protected Areas Program
The project supports selected conservation activities on the basis of detailed management plans for ten protected area sites. The development and supervi-sion of management plans will be guided by Technical Advisory Committees, composed of representatives of local communities, non-governmental organizations, local governments and other stakeholders. An ecotourism plan will be prepared and implemented in one of the protected area sites on a pilot basis, for potential replication in other areas.
Biodiversity Protection
Support for the restructuring and strengthening of the institutional capacity, regulatory and legal framework for adequate management of the National System of Protected Areas (NSPA).
Tejona Wind Power
The project will consist of installing a sufficient number of wind turbines (between 40-100 units) to generate 20 MW at Tejona, near Lake Arenal. In addition to the wind turbines, the project would add a control center for the wind power plant and a connection to the power grid. Through this project, wind power will displace thermal power plants that would otherwise have been built and thereby reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 60,000 tons per year.
National Biodiversity Project (PROBIO)
The project (PROBIO), to be managed by the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), will consist of (1) a series of workshops to set biome-level priorities for biodiversity conservation and development of a national biodiversity strategy, (2) establishment of a national biodiversity information network, and (3) funding of model biodiversity projects involving various combinations of public and private sector organizations.
Biodiversity Conservation
This project will protect representative samples of diverse and threatened ecosystems, and strengthen the government's institutional capacity to protect Bolivian biodiversity. Specific components of the project include support for the organization, implementation and follow-up of a National System of Protected Areas (SNAP) and the establishment of new priority protected areas.
Biodiversity Conservation in Southeast Zimbabwe
With the involvement of local communities, the project will design and implement a natural resource management program for Gonarhezou National Park on the Mozambique and South Africa border, complementing the Mozambique Transfrontier Conservation Areas project. It will rehabilitate the infrastructure of Gonarezhou to stimulate eco-tourism, develop community wildlife management and sustainable use programs and strengthen park management capacity.
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park Conservation
The project has established a trust fund, the income from which will provide a sustainable source of funds for the management of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks and the conservation of their biodiversity. A Trust Management Board, representative of local communities, NGOs and the government will allocate the fund's net income to selected park management, research and community ecodevelopment projects.
Transfrontier Conservation Areas Pilot and Institutional Strengthening
This project will prepare and implement participatory management plans for three wildlife-rich border areas that are contiguous with national parks in neighboring Zimbabwe and South Africa. A major objective of the project is to protect migration corridors for big game populations that cross transnational borders.
