| UNDP is supporting the Government of Guyana to strengthen monitoring and implementation of biodiversity-friendly practices in Guyana's gold mining sector to reduce biodiversity loss and maintain ecosystem functionality for the benefit of all Guyanese. The mayor objectives of this add-on request are to assist the Government of Guyana in addressing its priorities relating to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). These priorities include: undertaking a comprehensive capacity building assessment for defining country specific priorities, supporting the consultation process to complete its Second and Third National Reports to the CBD, and establishing a country-driven Biodiversity Clearing House Mechanism to provide easier Access to information related to biodiversity as identified in the National Biodiversity Action Plan and required by the CBD. |
