Biopama II Biodiversity And Protected Area Management Programme, Phase II
Programa de gestión de biodiversidad y áreas protegidas, Fase II
Brief Description:
The objective of the second phase of this project is to further enhance existing local institutions and networks by building their capacity to strengthen policy and to implement well informed decisions on biodiversity conservation and protected areas management, and access and benefit sharing. A new component of this Programme is the funding of projects led by local communities, NGOs and other key actors, enabling them to enhance livelihoods through the sustainable use of resources in protected areas.The contribution of the IUCN is focusing on capacity building while the JRC provides the technical and scientific assistance to set up regional observatories for the 3 regions, observatories that are supported by the DOPA.
El objetivo de la segunda fase de este proyecto es mejorar aún más las instituciones y redes locales existentes mediante el desarrollo de su capacidad para fortalecer las políticas e implementar decisiones bien informadas sobre la conservación de la biodiversidad y la gestión de áreas protegidas, y el acceso y distribución de beneficios. Un nuevo componente es la financiación de proyectos dirigidos por comunidades locales, ONG y otros actores clave, lo que les permite mejorar los medios de vida mediante el uso sostenible de recursos en áreas protegidas. La contribución de la UICN se centra en el desarrollo de capacidades mientras que el CCI proporciona la asistencia técnica y científica para la instalación de observatorios regionales para las 3 regiones, observatorios que son apoyados por la DOPA.
