Wetland PA System Strengthening Programme
under the CBPF
Objective: Catalysing the Sustainability of National Protected Area
System for Conservation of Globally Significant Wetland Biodiversity
1+6 US$ 26 million
Lessons:
• Site level intervention not
sustainable;
• Higher level issues;
• Issues beyond the NRs;
• GEF – system focus.
Guiding Principles and Features
 Ensuring linkages and concerted impacts
 Three-tier Approach - Provincial level projects to
ensure capacity development on the ground /
demonstration
 Cost effectiveness :
- System Focus
- Catalysing sustainability
of PA system as a whole
 Cross-fertilisation
between projects
Programme Component 1
Enhancing management effectiveness of wetland PA sub-system
• PA wetlands regulations and mgt framework strengthened –
national wetland conservation regulation, provincial
regulations on PAs/wetland mgt, standards and mgt
guidelines for different types of wetland, compliance
monitoring mechanisms and penalities
• New wetlands added to the PA system – system review,
resilience/connectivity enhancement, operationalisation
• Protection status of the wetland PAs strengthened
• Planning and monitoring of wetlands PAs and Ramsar Sites
strengthened
• Transforming mgt practices in 6 different provinces – park mgt
planning and boundary demarcation, BD/ES monitoring
system, co-mgt, staff training, law enforcement etc.
Programme Component 2
Mainstreaming Wetland PAs in devp and sectoral planning
•
•
•
•
National PA system management mainstreamed within national and provincial
development planning framework and budget allocation
Safeguards from sector practices in and near wetland PAs in the long term reducing
pressures on biodiversity from agricultural; industrial and mining-related pollution; IAS
threat; habitat change including water related disturbances from dams
Increased national and provincial governmental budget allocations: an increase of >50%
over baseline amount of $300 million/per year.
Reduction of funding gap for model PA due to improved planning and budget allocation
efficiencies; increased revenues; diversified funding sources and reduced cost from
threat reduction at source etc.

Programme Component 3
Knowledge Mgt and Lessons Sharing
• Strengthened data sharing system: open access knowledge
management platform, being routinely updated by wetland sites
and used by planners and in EIA procedures, uptake of knowledge
and replication of management practices from the provincial
projects to similar types of
wetland county wide (replication
targets to be set during PPG)
• Improved understanding among
decision makers and the public
on value of wetlands and PA
system: KAP survey

PPG Inputs
CEO Endorsement Request and Project Document
• Funding committed at PIF approval
• Elaboration of PIF and plan for implementation
• Requires detailed baseline information and in-depth analysis
of policy, institutional and geographical context
• Logframe – indicators, baseline values, targets, results
measurement methods must be established
• Define Business as-usual-scenario and incremental benefits
• Define project strategy, inputs
and outputs
Need to be implementation ready!

Tracking Tool for Biodiversity Projects in GEF-3, GEF-4, and GEF-5
Objective 1: Catalyzing Sustainability of Protected Area Systems
SECTION II: Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool for Protected Areas
Note: Please complete the management effectiveness tracking tool for EACH protected area that is the target of the GEF intervention.
Structure and content of the Tracking Tool - Objective 1. Section II:
The Tracking Tool has two main sections: datasheets and assessment form. Both sections should be completed.
1. Datasheets: the data sheet comprises of two separate sections:
Data sheet 1: records details of the assessment and some basic information about the site, such as name, size and location etc.
Data sheet 2: provides a generic list of threats which protected areas can face. On this data sheet the assessors are asked to identify threats and rank their impact on the protected area.
2. Assessment Form: the assessment is structured around 30 questions presented in table format which includes three columns for recording details of the assessment, all of which should
be completed.
Important: Please read the Guidelines posted on the GEF website before entering your data

Things to bear in mind…..
• Strong team leader and tight teamwork
• Knowing what information/data/analysis are required in each
section from the beginning
• Project design is in PIF – add flesh to the skeleton
• Define clear baseline and targets
• Full consultation – winning of political buy-in and
identification of project champions
• Implementable plan with sufficient guidance – e.g. build on
baseline activities, detailed local information, full ToR, results
measurement methods etc.
Thank You!
