Project Goal & ObjectiveTo pilot nationally-driven integrated processes and approaches to reporting to the Rio Conventions ( CBD, UNCCD and UNFCCC).

(a)develop integrated approaches to data collection/analysis and information management of relevance to the Rio Conventions;

(b) increase synergies in the process of reporting to the Conventions without compromising COP decisions in this regard; and

(c) contribute to improved overall planning and decision-making processes at the country level related to the implementation of these Conventions.

FUNDS ALLOCATION

GEF: US$ 924,000In Kind: US$ 775,880( Mauritius Contribution in kind: US$ 200 880 )

Project Components / Expected Results

1) Situational analysis and reporting process design: - find out common reporting elements in terms of process, content

and format among the three Conventions- exploring benefits to other closely related Conventions building on

the “clustering” approach

2) Implementation of integrated reporting processes and experimenting options for report design

- design a nationally-driven integrated and coordinated process for integrated reporting

- enhance existing national convention-related data and information management systems

3) Sharing of experience and upscaling- sharing of lessons learned and good practices.
