1. Catalyzing Sustainability of Protected Areas (US$400M)
2. Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Production Landscapes and Sectors (US$250M)
3. Capacity Building for the Implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (US$80M)
4. Generation and Dissemination of Best Practices for Addressing Current and Emerging Biodiversity Issues (US$70M)
Value-added of GEF-3 Strategic Priorities
• Do not replace existing Operational Strategy or Programs
• Not additional filter but sharpen focus & catalytic role of GEF
• Strengthen M&E and portfolio impact
• Better placing projects and programs within national context and framework
• Developed in the BD Task Force and approved by Council
• Enhance operational clarity
• Facilitate resources programming
SP1: Catalyzing Sustainability of PAs
To conserve biodiversity through the expansion, consolidation, and rationalization of national Protected
Area systems.
Main activities: •seeks to ground support for individual PAs in countries’ long-term vision for PAs• further development of innovative financial mechanisms• intensified capacity building• catalyzing community-indigenous partnerships• remove barriers to facilitate public-private partnerships
Examples• Bhutan, Brazil,Vietnam,Tanzania, Chile
SP2: Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Production Landscapes
To integrate biodiversity conservation in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, tourism and other production systems and sectors to secure national and global environmental benefits.
Main activities • strengthening capacity of government and key stakeholders, remove critical barriers (policy, legal, institutional) reforms, nurture partnerships etc.• develop market incentive measures for Sectors• demonstration (High replication value)
Examples•Bulgaria, Madagascar, Costa Rica, Venezuela, El Salvador
SP3: Capacity Building for the Implementation of the CBD Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
To build capacity for the implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety.
Main activity • Developing systemic and institutional capacity building for biosafety
Examples• Pilot project for development of Biosafety frameworks• Country-based demonstration projects to assist in capacity building to implement national biosafety frameworks
SP4: Generation and dissemination of best practices for addressing current and emerging
biodiversity issues
Main activities • Improve analysis, synthesis and dissemination of best practices• Support for building scientific and technical co-operation• Support demonstration projects that generate synergies between biodiversity, and other focal areas of the GEF.
Examples (under development)• Strengthening Capacity to Generate, Disseminate and Adopt Good Practices in Biodiversity Conservation• Global: Developing Generalizable Method for Adaptive Management and Protection from Climate Change in Mangrove and coral reef Ecosystems
