National Biodiversity Strategy, Action Plan and Country Report to the CoP

The Biodiversity Enabling Activity for Benin will assist the Directorate of the Environment in the Ministry of the Environment, Habitat and Urbanism (MEHU) in developing a National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (BSAP). The BSAP will build on and reinforce other existing national strategies and plans, such as the National Environmental Action Plan (NEAP). Also the project will allow the Republic of Benin to meet its obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) by assisting the preparation of an Interim Report to the Conference of Parties' (COP) deadline of December 1997 and its first Country Report to the COP.
