Selected GEF biodiversity projects:
>> National Biodiversity Strategy, Action Plan and First National Report to the CBD:
The aim of the project is to assist the country to formulate and manage sectoral and cross-sectoral programmes to meet the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity through a cost-effective approach within the context of national sustainable development efforts, and to report to the Convention on progress achieved in implementing agreed commitments.>> Integrated coastal and marine biodiversity management:
The project will assist the Government of Gambia to promote active stakeholder participation in biodiversity conservation and management inside and outside key protected areas. The processes and mechanisms will be initially developed in two contrasting sites and their replicability tested in at least one further site during project implementation. Identified sites are the Tambi, Bao Bolong and Niumi wetlands. The goal of the project is to conserve and sustainably manage globally significant biodiversity in coastal, marine and wetland ecosystems in Gambia.
