National Target 17: By 2015, revised National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plan (NBSAP) adopted for implementation as a national guiding document for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
Acknowledging the drawbacks of the past Biodiversity Action Plans, the focus of this target is to ensure that the current revision is taken up in an inclusive, interactive and consultative manner with relevant stakeholders in the country for identification and prioritization of actions and ownership of the document.
To achieve the national targets, the NBSAP will be adopted as national guiding documents for biodiversity planning and management with an effective coordination mechanism for NBSAP implementation, including systematic monitoring and evaluation mechanism.
