National Capacity Needs Self-Assessment for Global Environment Management (NCSA)

The NCSA will review three thematic areas - biodiversity, climate change, and land degradation – and address the linkages between them. There will be particular emphasis on further identifying cross-cutting issues and enhancing synergies among the relevant MEAs and regional initiatives. The NCSA Project also identifies opportunities to reinforce and strengthen existing institutions, mechanisms and processes to create a sustainable institutional framework and process for continuous assessment and improvement of national capacities for effective environmental management. The Project will be implemented in a consultative country-driven and country-owned manner.
