This document has been prepared with the support of Global Environment Facility and United Nations Environment Programme, under the enabling activity project “First Naional Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) for Iraq and Development of Fifth National Report to the CBD”. NBSAP is a principle instrument for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity at the national level. The Capacity Development Plan is the supporting system for NBSAP implementation.
It has become clear that capacity building is central to the quest of sustainable development. The ability of Iraq to follow sustainable development is determined to a large extent by the capacity of its people and institutions, as well as by its ecological and geographical conditions. Capacity building is an essential step to deal with long-term challenges, rather than only concentrating on immediate problems.
The purpose of the Capacity Development Plan is to identify priorities for developing Iraq’s capacity to enable it implementing the NBASP and meeting its commitments in biodiversity conservation and management at national and global level.
