17 IUCN components of the GSI Assisting national stakeholders (government departments, NGOs, communities, SGP country teams, ICCA Consortium members) in 6 priority target countries in collecting information on governance diversity, quality and vitality including ICCAs, as well as facilitating the submission of ICCA information where relevant to the Global Registry and revamped World Database on Protected Areas from 2015 to 2017

18 IUCN components of the GSI Complete at least six (6) assessments of the national governance context for protected areas, ICCAs and OECMs. Implement assessments of protected area system governance in the target countries by adapting the IUCN WCPA Best Practice Guidelines #20 PA Governance Assessment: from understanding to action

19 Focal countries in 3 complementary projects GSI ICCA Tanzania Ecuador Iran Philippines Indonesia Georgia. PA Solutions Kenya Colombia Peru Vietnam LUP project Tanzania Colombia Kenya Vietnam

20 Leadership on innovative approaches involving PAs is continued in respect of at least two areas (Health, Urban, Transboundary Governance)

21 2. GPAP programme and project portfolio is managed and further developed to reflect the priorities emanating from the Promise of Sydney. GPAP s current suite of funded projects is managed in accordance with project contracts (GEF Inspiring PA Solutions; GIZ Blue Solutions; UNDP GEF Global Support Initiative for ICCAs; BMUB IKI PA Solutions; BMUB IKI Land Use Planning) New projects in the pipeline ensure programme sustainability (BIOPAMA Phase II, Life Green/Natura 2000, Conservation Finance, BMUB IKI on Conservation Finance) Enhanced project portfolio management ensures the complementarity of the suite of projects against GPAP and IUCN Programme goals..

22 Projects being implemented Inspiring PA Solutions (GEF) Blue Solutions (GIZ, BMUB IKI) Integrated Land Use Planning (BMUB IKI) Global Support Initiative for ICCAs (UNDP GEF SGP) Protected Area Solutions (BMUB IKI) Developing a framework and tools for enhancing equity and justice in protected area management (IIED) Climate change and the Micronesia Challenge (TNC) Other Effective Conservation Measures (Swiss FOEN)

27 Projects being prepared or negotiated German International Climate Initiative concepts German Development Bank TFCA/KAZA GEF Improving Protected Area Performance GCF Protected Areas for Climate Change and Eco DRR

28 Protected Area Financing for Performance Collaboration between GPAP / ELC Participating Green List sites prioritized Commitment to performance is important Project expert group will examine opportunities for improved PA financing at 10 sites, and look for models of scaled impact investment across a portfolio of sites Example: Credit Suisse conservation notes for Sierra Madre de Dios, Peru (100 million investment)

29 Financing Transfrontier Conservation Proposed Financing Facility for transfrontier conservation areas in Southern Africa KfW and German Government with Southern African Development Community (SADC) IUCN preferred implementing agency EURO 21 Million over 5 years in grants to consortia for People habitat species actions Expected start 2018

30 Results in 2016 Implementation of IMET assessments in WCA (West and Central Africa) and associated capacity development. Consolidation of the work of the Observatories mainly in ESA (Eastern and Southern Africa), the Caribbean and the Pacific regions. Increased networking and collaboration with regional agencies and initiatives involved in capacity building and data management. IUCN and JRC implemented a number of activities and events on BIOPAMA during the IUCN World Conservation Congress (Hawaii, 1 10 September 2016). High visibility and profile achieved (local, regional and global events; through targeted communications activities). Specially important was the presence of BIOPAMA in the IUCN World Conservation Congress Design of BIOPAMA Phase II. This included consultation with regional and local stakeholders and the implementation of two global consultative meetings.

31 International events 4 publications, 4 pavilions, 11 communications materials, 13 staff, 30 events, 10,000 audience on site and 20,000 interactions online during the Congress 1 Congress activities report 1 SADC side event launching the SADC Transfrontier Conservation Areas Portal BIOPAMA was highlighted in 2 events: 1.

33 BIOPAMA 2 Objectives Overall objective Improve the long-term conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and natural resources in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific regions in protected areas and surrounding communities through better use and monitoring of information and capacity development on management and governance. Specific Objective 1 Reference Information Systems for biodiversity and protected areas management are maintained and enhanced at Global, ACP and Regional Levels, combining best-available data with query, analysis and reporting functions tailored to the specific needs of priority conservation landscapes in ACP countries. This will also contribute to better informed climate change mitigation and adaptation actions.

34 Specific Objective 2 BIOPAMA 2 Objectives The Regional Observatories (ROs), mandated by regional institutions and hosting the RRIS, are used by stakeholders to improve planning and decision-making for biodiversity conservation and sustainable natural resource management and governance. Specific Objective 3 (Site-based actions) On the basis of management and governance priorities, planning and implementation of biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services and sustainable natural resource management activities are strengthened through targeted actions in priority conservation landscapes in insular (including SIDS islands countries) and continental territories in the ACP region. Co-benefits on human well-being as well as on mitigation and adaptation actions will be explicitly sought whenever possible.
