National Reporting to the CBD: Supporting Countries to Prepare the Third National Report on Biodiversity, Phase I

This umbrella project is designed to assist at least 49 countries in the preparation of their Third National Reports on Biodiversity in order to meet their national reporting requirements under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). This project, through its umbrella approach, is intended to provide expedited assistance to countries and reduce transaction costs of individual requests. Its benefits will include enabling country parties to the CBD to improve the quality and timeliness of their reporting as called for under Decision VII/25 of the CBD at its Seventh Conference of Parties.
