BACKGROUND
1.1 Location
Located in the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean, the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and
Príncipe is composed of the two main islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, and of several isles.
The island of São Tomé is 269 km distant from the African mainland while Príncipe is 360 km
distant; between the two islands there is a distance of 140 km.
1.2 Climate and Ecological Zones
The climate in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé is essentially humid tropical, with
significant variations within each of the islands. While it rains throughout the year on both
islands, there are periods of less rain (“secas”). The archipelago is volcanic in origin and
mountainous with peaks reaching 2,024 m (Pico de São Tomé). The total surface area is 1,001
km2 (São Tomé, 859 km2 and Príncipe, 142 km2 ). The Equator passes through one of the
country’s isles (Ilhéu das Rolas), located on the southern tip of São Tomé.
The high (1,400 to 2,024 m) altitude zones, predominated by the primary forest (or rainforest)
eco-system and covering approximately 29% of the total national territory, are relatively well
conserved. The humid low-lying (0 to 800 m) tropical secondary forest’s biome has been greatly
altered through agricultural exploitation. Other eco-systems include the mountain (or shade)
forest predominant in the intermediate altitude zones, the tree savannah and the mangrove ecosystems. The country’s water system is abundant. The coastal and marine eco-systems are the
habitats of diverse species of fish and crustaceans; numerous sandy beaches as well as sheer
basalt cliffs form the coastline.
1.3 Demographic Situation
Approximately 150,000 people live in São Tomé and Príncipe, with a population growth rate of
2.5% (2003 estimates). As a consequence of the continuous and progressive rural exodus, the
capital and its suburbs contain today approximately 60% of the population within a radius of 10
km.
About 40% of the active population is occupied in the primary sector, which is export oriented
while the tertiary sector occupies 31% of the active population. The latter has contributed in
recent years to approximately two thirds of the GDP.
1.4 Socio-economic Situation in São Tomé and Príncipe
The economy of São Tomé and Príncipe is characterised by a strong external dependency and
systematic instability of its balance of trade. In recent years, donations or loans have represented
more than 90% of its public investment. In addition, a reduced volume of production in
traditionally exported commodities such as cocoa and coffee coincided with lowered
international commodity prices. By the end of 2000, the country took advantage of the HIPC
(Highly Indebted Poor Countries) external debt reduction programme resulting in 200 million
USD pardoned on the condition that the Government invest in sectors such as health and
education. A climate of economic optimism has recently been felt due to the discovery of
substantial petroleum reserves within national territorial waters, which could effectively change
the country’s economic scene in the coming years.
The per capita income was estimated at 1,317 USD PPP (Purchase Power Parity) by UNDP’s
Human Development Report for 2003, positioning São Tomé and Príncipe 112th -- amongst 175
countries – in relation to the Human Development Index, calculated at 0.639. Poverty affects
approximately 53.8% of the population. Poverty is particularly alarming amongst households
headed by women (55.7%), which represent one third of all households.
1.5 Political Situation
Politically, it should be noted that although the country gained its independence in 1975,
democratic reforms were not instituted until the end of the 1980s when the single party system
was abolished. Since 1991, elections (three general and one autarchic), which were considered to
be free, have been held.
As LDCs São Tomé and Príncipe must develop NAPA to address urgent needs in the context of
UNFCCC. The National Committee led by Cabinet of will lead the development of NAPA for
São Tomé and Príncipe.

INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
The key governmental institution for environmental issues in São Tomé and Príncipe is the
Environmental Cabinet. Its mandate as outlined in the Organic Law in 2000 of the then Ministry
of Infrastructures, Natural Resources and the Environment is to coordinate environmental
activities and execute the environmental policy of the Government. This includes actions such as
environmental protection, the fight against pollution and other forms of environmental
degradation, follow-up of any negative environmental impact generated by economic activity, as
well as the coordination in the implementation process of the environment conventions as well as
of the national environment laws. The Environment Cabinet also proposes relevant legislation
and collects environmental data.
In a recent ministerial re-organisation, the relevant attributes of the old Infrastructure Department
were transferred to another ministry, that of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the
Environment (MIRNA). The MIRNA is also the ministry for other governmental activities
relevant to environmental management such as the Direction for Natural Resources and Energy
and the National Meteorological Institute.
Amongst other ministries, those keys to environmental management are as follows:



Foreign Affairs and Co-operation Ministry (MNEC)
Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries Ministry (MADRP)
Trade, Industry and Tourism Ministry (MCIT)




Health Ministry (MS)
Defence and Internal Order Ministry (MDOI)
Education and Culture Ministry (MEC)
Youth and Sports Ministry (MJD)
It is the responsibility of the Political and International Economic Affairs Unit of the Foreign
Affairs Ministry to look after the country’s interests insofar as the process of adhesion to the
various conventions and international instruments are concerned, whether on environment or not.
Through the bias of its Forestry Unit, the Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries Ministry
(which was preceded by the Agriculture and Rural Development Ministry) is charged with
executing the Government’s policies in the management and protection of the national forest
assets. It is the responsibility of the Forestry Unit to also legislate according to Decree nº 77/93
insofar as regards the “foment, extraction and conservation of the forests, and wild fauna and
flora”.
The Commerce, Industry and Tourism Ministry coordinates industrial activities and defines,
together with the Defence and Internal Order Ministry, the management of the coastal zone. The
Health Ministry transmits to the general population standard hygienic principles, as well as
participates in the environmental cleanup, whereas the Ministries of Education and Culture and
of Youth and Sports communicate with NGOs involved with environmental issues in the field of
training and sensitising all environment related issues.
In addition to the concerned Ministries, it is the responsibility of the local regional authorities to
ensure basic hygiene and public health management as these directly reflect the state of the
environment and the quality of life. According to the law regulating regional governments
(1992), it is expected that these develop programmes tending towards “nature protection and
conservation, particularly of fauna and flora, with special attention to endangered species…and
to its natural heritage insofar as the rural and urban landscapes are concerned”. The regional
governments should also “promote methods towards rational management of natural resources
and in particular the conservation of its soil and water”. Lastly, the regional governments assume
pertinent competencies for the “control of pollutant actions and activities or those, which could
be constituted as factor causing ill health”. The above main attributes assigned to the regional
governments are not always compatible with the budgets designed to execute them.
In terms of local structures, there has been a formal designation Local Environment Units
covering each of the country’s seven districts. These were active especially during the PNADD
elaboration process and had the role of bridging between the central and regional authorities in
relation to environmental questions.

OBJECTIVES AND LINKAGES TO ONGOING ACTIVITIES
3.1 Objectives of the Project
The objectives of this project are three-fold:



Identify a list of priority activities that would address the vulnerable situation of São
Tomé and Príncipe;
Develop adaptation measures based on country-driven criteria; and
Develop a NAPA for São Tomé and Príncipe.
3.2 Vulnerabilities to climate change
As a small island Sao Tome and Principe have some difficulties with geographic continuity and
is particularly affected to climate change impacts. The most vulnerable sectors to climate change
within Sao Tome and Principe are:
-
Agriculture and cattle
Forestry and land
Water, energy and mines
Coastal zone and fishing
Population education and health
3.2.1 Agriculture and cattle
The major culture of exportation are cocoa, coffee and coconut and for consumption, like
banana, fruit bread, palm tree for oil production and maize. The rentability of the exportation
culture is decreasing from 1961 to attend lowest level the last years. The main reasons for this
decrease are: small density of plantation, lack of diseases and pest control, oldness of the
plantation and law productivity of the workers.
The country does not have enough production to feed it’s own population. The north part of Sao
Tome (District de Lobata) is most vulnerable to climate for agriculture and cattle. The most
vulnerable part in Principe island is nord-est.
In terms of animal production, climate change can affect eggs production and fowl (poultry). The
probability of occurrence of animal pests and diseases must to be taken into account.
3.2.2 Forestry and Land
Taking into account actual climatic conditions presented by climate change scenarios, the northnortheast of the island will be the most affected. Consequently, the most vulnerable ecosystems
will be the savannas, shade forest and portions of secondary forest. The land normally covered
by forest or by another form of vegetation, which protects it from impacts of heavy rain and
excessive heating caused by temperature increases, are less sensitive to climate change.
3.2.3 Water, energy and mines
The provision of fresh (potable) water to the population and agricultural irrigation needs are
assured by different rivers around the country. Climate change could have an impact on the
rivers, caused by an increase of air temperature and a corresponding change on the
precipitation/evaporation regime, relative humidity, wind speed and direction.
The main source of energy in Sao Tome and Principe are imported hydrocarbon, hydraulic
(electricity) and wood. Interconnected network of EMAE (Enterprise of Water and Energy) have
10.570kw power installed capacity, with 8.330kw hydraulic. They are some insole electrics
central (844kw diesel) for provision of rural communities. Total power of EMAE production is
11.414kw, which comprises a sum of 27,26wh/year of electricity. This quantity of electricity is
not enough for national needs.
Development of the mining sector in Sao Tome is based on exploration of the material of
construction like basalt, phonolite, argyle, and sand. Excavation mining is degrading the
environment, leaving holes in fields which in some cases are flooded with underground water
transforming the place into a lagoon. Example of this, is the stone quarry of Mesquita.
3.2.4 Costal zone and fishing
Approximately 102,000 live in the littoral zone in Sao Tome, and some 5,000 in Principe,
corresponding to 77% and 83% of in habitants of these islands, respectively. The littoral zone is
rich with flora and exceptional fauna, with many endemic land birds. The marine ecosystem
fauna is characterized by five species of turtles and diverse classes of fishes and other sea
species.
More than 80% of economic activities and resources are developed in the costal zone. These
activities are vulnerable to the climate change scenarios of sea level rise, and represent a risk for
all species and ecosystems. Less profound, though very important, sea level changes would
greatly impact the coastal biophysical systems, tourism, agriculture, and ports.
3.2.5 Population, education and health
The social sector is vulnerable to climate change, due to implications on health, mainly in the
increment of diseases. The territorial distribution of the population is not regular, consequently
there is a large variation on the population density from 20 habitants/Km2 to more than 2500
habitants/Km2. The majority of population is located in the coastal zones at the districts of Agua
Grande, Mé Zochi and Lobata, the more habited in the country. It’s also in those zones where is
concentred the majority of more vulnerable groups, as fishers and fish vendors «palayes». They
can be impeded in their activities in case of climate change.
3.3 Linkages to Ongoing Activities (Biodiversity (BD), Climate Change (CC) and
Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD))
3.3.1 Biodiversity (BD)
With GEF funding through the World Bank, São Tomé initiated in 2001 the implementation of a
project in support to the elaboration of a National Biodiversity Strategy and a Plan of Action
(BSAP). The project’s principal objective is to identify priorities in conservation activities and in
the management of biodiversity in São Tomé and Príncipe in conformity with the obligations
stipulated in the Biodiversity Convention (CBD).
São Tomé and Príncipe ratified the CBD in May of 1998. The BSAP project represents the first
step towards assuring the Government’s and other actors’ capacity in managing biodiversity
issues. The BSAP project includes as well Clearing House Mechanism (CHM) activities
important to increasing the ability of the various actors working with biodiversity and to
invigorate relevant activities. Various other activities, including studies of the state of knowledge
and conservation of the country’s biodiversity were carried out by the project. A total of four
workshops were held, the first one in March of 2002.
As the project is currently in its final phase, the National Biodiversity Strategy and a Plan of
Action are both in advanced versions. It is to be hoped that finalisation and national validation of
the strategy and plan of action referred culminate very shortly in the first national report for the
CBD and the identification of priority initiatives in the form of conservation and biodiversity
management projects/programmes.
In terms of the involvement of stakeholders, the BSAP project did not succeed to form a
“National Biodiversity Committee” to accompany its implementation. It relied, however, on the
support of an “Executive Unit” composed of five key players, i.e., the focal points for
biodiversity and for the GEF, the project’s coordinator, a representative of the Environment
Cabinet and a representative of the ECOFAC project.
Under the responsibility of the Forestry Unit within the Ministry of Rural Development and
Fisheries, the ECOFAC (Écosystèmes Forestiers en Afrique Centrale) initiative in São Tomé and
Príncipe is part of a regional initiative in the conservation of forest ecosystems involving five
other countries in the sub-region (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo – Brazzaville,
Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon). The ECOFAC office in São Tomé and Príncipe is focussed on
two principal initiatives: (i) The creation and management of the Ôbo National Park and the
sustainable utilisation of its surrounding area (buffer zone); and, (ii) the monitoring and
protection of marine turtles all along the national coastline under the coordination of the regional
programme PROTOMAC.
The latter axis of the ECOFAC Initiative in São Tomé and Príncipe began its operations in
1995/6 and presented its first positive results in 1998 when the population of turtles utilising the
Saotomean coast to lay their eggs showed signs of recovery. Related activities with regard to the
protection of marine turtles include as well sensitisation programmes for coastal inhabitants.
However, this component of the ECOFAC Programme is without financing since last year and
activities were discontinued.
The ECOFAC Programme also maintains the country’s only Botanical Garden serving as a
research station as well as an ecotourism base within the Ôbo Natural Park on São Tomé.
With regard to the process of the creation of the park, the Saotomean Government conceded, in
1993, to the idea of creating large areas of protection on national territory. The Ôbo Park covers
a total area of 295 km2 and is divided between the islands of São Tomé (240.6 km2) and Príncipe
(54.4 km2). On each island the park’s area -- nearly 30% of the country’s total area -- includes
mountainous, low-lying and coastal zone ecosystems.
Among other activities of the second phase of the ECOFAC Project in São Tomé and Príncipe,
the following can be mentioned:




The elaboration of the Ôbo Park’s Management Plan, finalised in 1999; support to
mechanisms of management and park maintenance;
The promotion of agro-forestry systems as an alternative to deforestation, as well as the
protection of water and soil;
Support to the elaboration and approval of environmental legislation; and
Research programmes relevant to national biodiversity conservation.
The current implementation phase (Phase III) of the ECOFC Initiative in the country is
concentrated on consolidating the results achieved and promoting reforestation. The fourth
phase, planned for 2004 – 2008, involves the ownership of the project by the Government
together with a gradual decrease of external financing.
Due both to the variety of ecosystems as well as due to the fact that the Ôbo Natural Park is
contained in two large contiguous areas which together cover significant portion of the country’s
area, the Initiative’s relevancy at both the national and global levels is fairly important and
should therefore be assisted/funded. Despite various efforts – including some important results
along the way -- going back 10 years, approval/endorsement by the National Assembly of the
law to formally create the Ôbo Natural Park has not been achieved.
With regard to coastal management, a large regional initiative, covering 19 countries of the subregion, is being co-financed by GEF through UNDP, UNEP (United Nations Environment
Programme) and UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation). The project,
which focuses large regional marine ecosystems dominated by the Guinea Current and which has
recently completed its preparatory phase, anticipates protective activities for the coastal zones
within a perspective of long-term regional collaboration. In São Tomé and Príncipe, although the
Environment Cabinet was in the fore of the preparatory assistance phase, it should be the
ministry in charge of fisheries, which should serve as the designated institution for the
implementation of the national component in the rest of the project.
3.3.2 Climate Change (CC)
Implemented by UNDP and funded by GEF May 2001, Project STP/01/G31 is now in phase of
finalization and has been given the responsibility to prepare National Communication. Assisted
by several data-producing institutions and with through the collaboration of various interested
parties the Project is now being implemented by the Cabinet Environment. It should be noted as
well that within the implementation component of the project a Pilot Committee was formed to
assist in the management and follow-up of the project’s execution.
For a country with low-level emissions such as São Tomé and Príncipe, the work involved in
climate change is very much a matter of increasing national technical capacity in specialised
reporting. The following documents were nevertheless prepared within the context of the project:
(1) GHG Inventory;
(2) Evaluation of Potential Impact of Climatic Change for São Tomé and Príncipe;
(3) Analysis of Possible Methods to Reduce GHG Emissions in São Tomé and Príncipe;
and
(4) Adaptability Measures for Climatic Change.
The compilation of the above reports forms the body of first National Communication of São
Tomé and Príncipe under UNFCCC Convention. The Inventory of Greenhouse Emissions (1) has
been finalised while Evaluation of Potential Impact of Climatic Change for São Tomé and
Príncipe, Analysis of Possible Methods to Reduce Greenhouse Emissions in São Tomé and
Príncipe, and, Adaptability Measures for Climatic Change (2, 3, and 4) are being written.
Within the context of climatic change, the work of the Convention’s Focal Point is crucial to
ensuring that the Saotomean position in the international arena be suitably negotiated given that
in the long term, the country’s insularity will make it highly likely for it to be affected negatively
by climatic change without having contributed towards it.
3.3.3 Desertification/Soil Degradation (CCD)
Given the country’s geographical situation and factors, which determine the archipelago’s
climate (particularly its forests), desertification itself is not a serious problem in São Tomé and
Prínicpe. Nevertheless, attention should be given to problems of erosion and subsequent soil
degradation. The archipelago’s erosion problems are in the main due to incorrect utilisation of
the soil on slopes and, in the case of beaches, in sand extraction.
The United Nations Desertification Convention (CCD) was ratified by São Tomé and Príncipe
on 29 May 1998. Since then, two national reports for the CCD were produced, the first in July of
1999 and the second one in April of 2002. Through the Focal Point for the Convention, the
possibility of elaborating a National Plan of Action against Soil Degradation (PAN) is being
studied. The PAN initiative would deal in particular with problems of erosion in connexion with
national efforts in the fight against poverty.
It is logical that the activities within the context of desertification/soil degradation be undertaken
in synergy with other conventions, particularly with the CBD and the UNFCCC. The NAPA
Exercise must ensure particular attention to these issues.
3.4 Other Related Activities
Several other reports, strategies and plans directly or indirectly linked to the environment were
elaborated. Currently there are also initiatives, which have, potential for interacting with the
NAPA process, as follows:
 National Strategy in the Fight against Poverty (December 2002), the analytical base and
strategic planning from which appears a series of measures to reduce poverty by 2015;
 Sustainable Development Policies of the Republic of São Tomé e Príncipe was presented
as a national document in the Johannesburg Conference evaluating the country’s
significant progress in the implementation of the Agenda 21 between 1992 and 2002; and
 Strengthening of the Juridical-Legal Environment Framework: A project entitled
“Legislation and African Environment Institutions” was implemented during 1996 – 2000
and funded by UNEP, UNDP and the Government of Holland. This project assisted in the
elaboration of the environmental laws and capacitated national specialists, including
judges, in the implementation of the laws. The project should enter its second phase,
focussing on normalising the implementation of these laws.
b)
Status of the country’s climate change and biodiversity enabling activities:
Initial National Communication scheduled to be finalized by June / July 2003 experienced some
delay and is now being finalized. GHG inventory and V&A studies have been finished and the
compilation will be completed within the next 3-4 months. The presentation of this
Communication will take place during next COP10. The National Action Plan and Strategy for
Biodiversity is scheduled to be finalized by June 2004.
c) Plans and programs, including national strategies for sustainable development, the
Program of Action for the LDCs, the UN development assistance framework, and other national
sectoral policies relevant to adaptation like National Sustainable development programme,
NEAP, National Strategy on Climate Change, NAP for Desertification, and at the sectoral the
National Forest Policy must be implemented.

PROJECT ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED OUTPUT
Brief descriptions of the activities to be carried out in developing the NAPA
Output 1: Establishment, composition and mandate of a National NAPA Team with a lead
agency
A NAPA Team will be established through a consultative process with the coordination of the
Cabinet of Environment and all the other Stakeholders, including the National Meteorological
Institute, which has been delegated as the Climate Change Focal Point by the Infrastructure
Natural Resources and Environment Ministry. The NAPA Team will be responsible for the
coordination and development of the NAPA document. The following agencies will be
represented on the team: Cabinet of Environment, Planning and Finance Department, Focals
Points of the Conventions, National Institute of Meteorology, Direction of Natural Resources and
Energy, Direction of Forest, and UNDP as an observer.
Output 2: Assembly of a multidisciplinary integrated assessment team
The multidisciplinary expertise gained by the V & A Team will be used to assemble a NAPA
Team. Members must be able to work with local communities and be known rapid appraisals and
GIS.
Output 3: Synthesis of available information on adverse effects of climate change
Expertise of the V & A Team will be used. Other experts will be co-opted as and when it is
necessary.
Output 4: Participatory assessment of vulnerability to current climate variability
Various scooping meetings (regional and sub-regional) will be used to identify and collect
information on climate variability and how communities have coped with the effects in the past.
Output 5: Identification of key climate change adaptation measures
Based on the identified vulnerability measures to adapt to climate change and climate variability
will be identified during these scooping meetings.
Output 6: Identification and agreement on country driven criteria for selecting priority activities
to address the adverse effects of climate change, based on the consultative process.
The NAPA Team will work with communities and other stakeholders to develop criteria that can
be used in prioritising the selected measures. Selection of these criteria will be based on national
circumstances of São Tomé and Príncipe, particularly as regards to food security, poverty
alleviation and natural resources management.
Output 7: Development of proposals for priority activities to address needs arising from the
adverse effects of climate change, including national/ sub-national consultations for the purpose:
Having got all the elements necessary for prioritization and also after prioritizing the activities
these can now be translated into project proposals. The NAPA Team will now be charged with
using the guidelines to develop the proposals. Where necessary the NAPA Team will use the
expertise of the LEG or any other entity. The collected information and proposals will be used to
draft the NAPA document.
Output 8: Public review of the draft NAPA document
The NAPA document will be circulated to national and regional institutions and individuals for
review. This will allow public comment and inputs from an open review of the NAPA. The
document is revised based on the comments from the public.
Output 9: Final review of the NAPA document by government and civil society representatives,
followed by endorsement by the national government
After public input and comments, a final review will be conducted for proper government
consideration of how the NAPA would complement existing programs and development
priorities. This will be followed by a National Workshop for validation of the document. A
formal endorsement by government agencies responsible for development and economic
planning is expected to demonstrate comprehension of the contents and to show a commitment
by government to the citizens that government will do all it can to facilitate implementation of
the NAPA activities and projects if funding is made available.
Output 10: Public dissemination (including translation as necessary)
Once the NAPA is completed, it will be made into a publicly available document (in multiple
languages as needed), and will be submitted to the UNFCCC and the implementing agency. It is
expected that a web site will be implemented that will host the NAPA document and various
other background information as will be collected during this preparation process. A good
archive will facilitate preparation of national communications and subsequent revisions of the
adaptation priorities.

INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR OVERSIGHT AND
COORDINATION
The execution of NAPA will be the responsibility of the Environment Cabinet, organ with the
mandate of environmental management and coordination in São Tomé and Príncipe and also part
of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment. The implementation will apply World
Bank’s national execution modality if any, including the necessary operational arrangements of
payments, disbursements and recruitment.
For the substantive and administrative management of the project, a Coordination Team,
composed of a coordinator and an assistant with secretarial and accounting aptitudes, shall be
selected through a competitive process. The Team shall report to the NAPA’s Team, which will
have supervisory, and supportive roles in relation to the project, as defined in the Execution
Unit’s TORs annexed to the project. The Project Coordinator shall ensure the accomplishment of
the work plan and the satisfactory management of available resources.
The National Environmental Technical Commission, which will be reactivated to accompany the
various initiatives of the Environment Cabinet, will function as a consultative body for the
project, representing as such the various sectors and sensibilities of the Saotomean society. On
that basis the Cabinet of Environment will lead the coordination and will delegate the sectorial
component to the relevant institution. A NAPA Team will lead the implementation of the
development of the NAPA document.
