The UNDP/UNEP/GEF Biodiversity Planning Support Programme (BPSP) had a mandate to provide assistance to national biodiversity planners as they develop and implement their national biodiversity strategies and action plans, or equivalent plans, programmes and policies. The integration of biodiversity into other sectors of the national economy and civil society has been identified as a critical indicator of successful implementation of sustainable development practices and of the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Article 6(b) of the CBD states: Each Contracting Party shall, in accordance with its particular conditions and capabilities: (b) Integrate, as far as possible and as appropriate, the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity into relevant sectoral or cross-sectoral plans, programmes and policies. Exactly how this integration is to be achieved has not been described clearly by the Convention, subsequent Decisions of the Conference of Parties (COP), or by other specialist bodies. The BPSP was therefore established to respond to needs recognized by the Parties to the CBD for strengthening national capacity to prepare and implement National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAP) in compliance with Article 6 of the Convention. The present document is one of eight thematic studies designed to provide guidance to biodiversity planners to mainstream biodiversity into sectoral and economic policy development and planning.
