Project Description | Taking into consideration that the “Global Support Programme II: Strengthening UNCCD reporting – enhancing implementation of the UNCCD”, will provide capacity for the National Focal Points and the Data Management specialist in each country and building on the achievements of the GSP I, the LDN Target Setting Project, the corporate activities of the UNCCD Secretariat and Global Mechanism, based on the guidance provided by COP and CRIC and, the current Umbrella project is developed to provide resources at country level to collect base line information, conduct the reporting process and establish long term monitoring system of LDN for UNCCD implementation. The project objective is To facilitate access to GEF funding to enable country Parties collect necessary biophysical, socioeconomic data, establish sound reporting and monitoring systems at national level and report against the UNCCD Strategy. The project intervention logic is built around the fact that if parties are provided resources to : (i) collect biophysical and socio-economic baseline information on DLDD, (ii) assess the state of land degradation, (iii) review plans and programmes relating to land degradation, (iv) review investments patterns, barriers and opportunities to increase financial investments for UNCCD implementation, and (v) conduct analysis of data to support reporting to the convention; (vi) benefited from training on new tools, reportin templates, LDN indicators monitoring and data management; there will be an improved and enhanced UNCCD biophysical progress indicators, quality of collected data and data management analysis and monitoing system. Furthermore, it is assumed that if consultation are conducted on reporting process at national level, there will a sound review of the first LDN voluntary target setting and impementation by the Committee of Review of the Convention Implementation (CRIC) at its 18 session. The proposed Umbrella project has three main components with associated expected outcomes and outputs: - Component 1: National estimates and baselines of metrics/proxies of indicators for UNCCD reporting |
