Description de la mission

Transformative change for biodiversity is underpinned by action from countries’ national, sub-national and local governments, but with crucial involvement and mobilisation from civil society and non-state actors. Their contributions should be valued throughout the GBF negotiation process, their positions should be encouraged to converge to give them even more weight and should expand to new partners, including the private sector and economic activities to de-silo and amplify their support and mobilization. Raising awareness on the GBF will be instrumental in the early phase of its effective and prompt implementation. In the months to come and over the duration of the project, the latter aims at supporting mobilization campaigns to help its partners in boosting the implementation of the GBF.

Expertise France is building a pool of experts with competences on stakeholders’ mobilization across society either at regional or national levels and/or from key sectors in relation to the key transformative topics identified by the project that could be tasked on this and other potential projects.

Description du projet ou contexte

Expertise France, the French technical cooperation agency, designs and implements projects that sustainably strengthen public policies in developing and emerging countries. Governance, security, climate, biodiversity, health, education are among its core activities. It operates in key areas of development and contributes alongside its partners to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a world in common. With an activity volume of 237 million euros, over 500 projects running in 100 countries and 63,000 days of expertise delivered every year, Expertise France provides partner countries with knowledge, skills and management expertise. Through its work, the agency promotes French and European development policy goals. Expertise France is endowed with dedicated Agriculture and Biodiversity Units, including a wide array of projects. 

Among them, Expertise France implements the 2nd Phase of Post 2020 Biodiversity Framework – EU support. As during its 1st Phase, this EU-funded project will continue to focus on fostering ambitious commitments at the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP 15), to be held in 2022 with a wide variety of activities – workshops, knowledge products, campaigns and partner dialogues. However, it will shift its goal to support an early operationalization of the ensuing Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and an effective implementation of the related COP decisions. The Project aims to (1) inspire actors from various levels of governments as well as stakeholder and non-State partners to take bold commitments on biodiversity action, (2) contribute to unveiling the opportunities related to ambitious biodiversity action and (3) trigger the implementation of concrete solutions on key transformative issues and potential gaps in the Global Biodiversity Framework to be adopted by CBD COP 15.
