Mainstreaming Global Environmental Aspects in the planning and monitoring processes of the National Human Development Initiative (NHDI) in Morocco

The proposed project addresses the objectives of the three GEF focal areas (biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable development), and specifically fits under the strategic priority related to cross-cutting capacity-building (CB-2). The project is also fully in line with the Interim Guidelines for Cross-Cutting Capacity Building Projects. The project is specifically in line with the CB-2 programming framework related to: “Mainstreaming Global Environmental Priorities into National Policies and Programs”; whereby the CB-2 projects would focus on developing capacities for countries to improve their ability to meet their obligations under the three Rio Conventions by integrating global environmental priorities into national policies, plans, and programs, particularly macro-economic and poverty-reduction strategies/programs.
