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.
