Multi-Focal Area Projects: BD, LD, and IW
Outline
• Three focal areas-three results frameworks
• Best practice examples
GEF-5 Biodiversity Strategy Objectives
1) improve the sustainability of protected area systems
2) mainstream biodiversity conservation and sustainable use into production landscapes/ seascapes and sectors
3) build capacity to implement the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
4) build capacity on access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing
5) integrate CBD obligations into national planning processes through enabling activities
GEF-5 IW Strategy Objectives1. Catalyze multi-state cooperation to
balance conflicting water uses in transboundary surface and groundwater basins while considering climatic variability and change
2. Catalyze multi-state cooperation to rebuild marine fisheries and reduce pollution of coasts and Large Marine Ecosystems while considering climatic variability and change
3. Support foundational capacity building, portfolio learning, and targeted research needs for joint, ecosystem-based management of trans-boundary water systems
4. Promote effective management of Marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ)
GEF-5 Land Degradation Objectives1) Maintain or improve flows of agro-ecosystem services to sustain livelihoods of local communities.
2) Generated sustainable flows of forest ecosystem services in arid, semi-arid and sub-humid zones, including sustaining livelihoods of forest-dependent people
3) Reduce pressures on natural resources from competing land uses in the wider landscape
4) Increase capacity to apply adaptive management tools in SLM

• South West Indian Fisheries Commission Project, BD-IW
• China,Mainstreaming Biodiversity Protection within the Production Landscapes and Protected Areas of the Lake Aibi Basin, BD-LD
