Strengthening national implementation of global biodiversity targets
GFA Consulting Group is contributing to the global effort to protect nature through its work in the programme "Strengthening National Implementation of Global Biodiversity Targets", running from 2024 to 2025, with a possible extension until December 2026. Within this project, GFA supports partner countries — Germany, Brazil, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Laos, Madagascar, Namibia, and Peru — in meeting their national biodiversity goals in line with the Global Biodiversity Framework. The focus lies in assisting governments in aligning their policies, involving local communities, and sharing knowledge internationally to enhance biodiversity protection.
GFA provides technical expertise and capacity development in two main areas of the programme: aligning National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with global targets, and promoting international knowledge exchange. This includes working with ministries to improve coordination and budget planning, engaging the private sector, and strengthening the role of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities - especially Indigenous women - in conservation efforts. By promoting cross-country learning and supporting inclusive, gender-responsive approaches, GFA contributes to strengthening global environmental governance.
