Strengthening national implementation of global biodiversity targets
The aim of the project is to enable selected partner countries to better implement national biodiversity targets in line with the Global Biodiversity Framework.The projects areas of intervention will focus on:
- Needs-based advice for national policy processes to align NBSAPs in selected ambitious partner countries and support for priority implementation actions.
- Strengthening the participation of indigenous peoples and local communities.
- Sharing knowledge and experience at the international level.
The contractor will contribute to the achievement of project outputs 1 and 3 (see below) by providing on-demand specialised international or regional short-term technical expertise as well as consultancy and training services, thereby contributing to the achievement of the target indicators. To this end, the contractor will provide services in very close coordination with the GIZ project team and according to the specific needs of each intervention country. Due to the large geographical diversity, the sequence of tasks cannot be planned in detail in advance.
Output 1 aims to initiate key actions for implementing aligned national biodiversity objectives. It will first assess processes and organisations in partner country agencies to establish lasting inter-ministerial structures that align and guide NBSAPs, considering links with national agendas (especially NDCs and SDGs). Successful implementation requires integrating targets into planning, budgeting, and financing across ministries and local authorities, with essential private sector engagement.
Output 2 seeks to enhance IPLC participation in NBSAP adaptation and implementation, using a gender-transformative approach focused on indigenous women. Equitable participation aims to strengthen social acceptance, achieve the 30x30 target, and ensure conservation sustainability. National and international IPLC organisations will be supported to improve involvement in NBSAP processes.
Output 3 intends to improve access to practical knowledge and tailored advice via international knowledge networks. Partner countries will join South-South dialogues, triangular cooperation, and peer reviews to share NBSAP experiences. Specialised organisations will provide knowledge products, including gender-transformative approaches to biodiversity conservation.
