Coastal Marine and Biodiversity Management

The project would promote management of Guinea's coastal biodiversity for both conservation of biodiversity and sustainable development ends, with a particular emphasis on assisting local communities in and around key priority sites to plan, implement, and maintain environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive alternative livelihoods options. It will do so through: (a) the establishment of one protected areas in collaboration with stakeholders and international NGOs; (b) improved collaboration between stakeholders at national and sub regional levels; (c) environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive alternative livelihoods; (d) local stakeholders enabled to plan, implement and monitor their own sustainable development plans; and (e) efficient management of project resources.
