This project which builds on the achievements of the GEF-funded pilot phase project seeks to operationalize the recently passed Coastal Zone Management Act. This Act provides the institutional framework for the implementation of targeted interventions for biodiversity protection. Belize's coastal zone is made up of globally significant diversity of ecosystems and organisms, including the longest barrier reef (220 km long) in the Western Hemisphere. Five of the marine protected areas (MPAs) targeted in this project are World Heritage Sites.

The project aims at protecting the rich biodiversity and pristine ecological function of Suriname’s Guayana Shield tropical forest wilderness area. The project has been strategically designed to trigger long-term conservation processes within a network of priority forest PAs and constitutes the first step of a long-term programmatic approach to conservation. The project would contribute to institutional learning in the conservation arena by operationalizing protected area management in 2 key globally important and representative sites, namely the Central Suriname Nature Reserve (CSNR), the single largest tropical forest reserve in the Guayana Shield, and the Sipaliwini Nature Reserve (SNR) in south Suriname.

Renewable Energy Development Project

PDF

|
$0.31
|
Exploitation of the Caribbean's substantial renewable energy resources lags far behind their potential due to policy, financing, capacity and awareness barriers. The proposed PDF activities would assess these barriers and design the components of a project to remove them. In the area of policy, the PDF activity will identify policy changes that would facilitate renewable energy development and design a component to support their implementation. In financing, the PDF activity will develop inovative financing mechanisms and a component to demonstrate their application. In capacity building, the PDF activity will identify priority areas where capacity is lacking and develop capacity buidling programs for implementation by the project. In awareness, the PDF activity will asses what information is available or lacking in the region and prepare a plan to strenghten the regional energy information network in order to increase the availability of needed renewable energy information. Finally, the project will be designed in a regional workshop and documented in a project brief and project document.
