Mainstreaming Biodiversity and Development: Guidance from African Experience 2012-17

Mainstreaming Biodiversity and Development: Guidance from African Experience 2012-17 draws on lessons from the African Leadership Group (ALG) for Biodiversity Mainstreaming, covering progress in eight African countries since 2012.

The guidance covers:

• Understand the ‘reciprocal’ mainstreaming process – biodiversity into development and development into biodiversity – so that the real linkages between people and nature, economy and ecology, are dealt with properly
• Find out more about helpful tools and approaches – that have been tested in African contexts
• Effectively and efficiently select, assemble, analyse and present compelling evidence on the links between biodiversity and national development priorities
• Make better NBSAPs and development plans – and use them better
• Develop a communication strategy to support these aims.
