km2,ParaguayeselquintopasmspequeodeAmricadelSury,segnelCensoNacional(2002),el
pas cuenta con 5.206.101 habitantes (51% hombres y 49% mujeres) con una densidad de 10,2
habitantesporkm2,unadelasdensidadesmsbajasdelsubcontinente.

ElRoParaguaydividealpasendosregionesnaturales:laReginOrientalylaReginOccidentalo
Chaco. La primera, donde se encuentra la ciudad capital, representa 39% del territorio nacional y
contiene 97% de la poblacin. En cambio el Chaco cubre 61% de la superficie total del pas con
solamente3%delapoblacin.

Todo el pas se ubica en la cuenca del Ro de la Plata y se caracteriza por una red de afluentes,
arroyos y ros. Paraguay tiene dos importantes vas fluviales, los ros Paraguay y Paran, con una
superficie de 3,1 millones km2. En tamao este sistema ocupa el cuarto lugar en el mundo y su
importanciasocialyeconmicaestrascendente.

LascuatroecoregionesprincipalesdeParaguay(Dinersteinetal.1995)incluyen:

a. ElBosqueAtlnticodelAltoParan:sedescribeaestaecoregincomobosquesubtropical,
tambin conocidocomo SelvaParanaense,queanteriormente cubra laReginOriental del
Paraguay, el noreste de Argentina y el sur de Brasil. Esta ecoregin boscosa ha sido
identificada como uno de los ecosistemas ms amenazados del mundo debido a su gran
biodiversidad y endemismo, y solamente 7% aproximadamente de su superficie original se
conservainalterada.(ProgramadeApoyoalaBiodiversidad,1995).
b. El Chaco: el Chaco ocupa una gran superficie y suelo aluvial relativamente plano del
Paraguay,ArgentinayBolivia.Estaecoreginestdivididaendossubecoregiones:elChaco
hmedo y el Chaco seco. El Chaco seco se caracteriza por un bosque semideciduo
subtropical sobre xeroftico seco (Guyr Paraguay, 2001). El Instituto Internacional para el

Es difcil precisar el nmero exacto de especies de plantas endmicas en Paraguay porque los
estudiosdesufloraestnencurso.Preliminarmente,sepuedeafirmarquelamayoradetodaslas
especies son endmicas de la Cuenca del Ro de la Plata y muchas de ellas son endmicas del
Paraguay.Porejemplo,delas156especiesderbolescomunes,107(69%)sonendemiasregionales
compartidas con pases vecinos (Acevedo, 1998). La diversidad de la fauna refleja la variedad de
ecosistemas en el pas. Se estima que hay unas 100.000 especies de invertebrados y 1233 a 1336
vertebrados (29 familias y 87 gneros). En Paraguay se conocen 32 especies de mamferos que se
utilizanparasubsistencia,comercio,serviciospblicos,ceremoniasornamentalesymedicinales.

Varias especies florales estn amenazadas en Paraguay, incluyendo 15 en peligro, 125 vulnerables,

Contextosocioeconmico

Conunatasadecrecimientoanualde2,4%,ycon45,8%desupoblacindispersaenzonasrurales,la
poblacin rural del pas es la ms numerosa de Amrica del Sur. Paraguay es un pas bilinge y
multicultural donde casi 95% de la poblacin es mestiza y 5% est compuesta de nativos e
inmigrantes de orgenes diversos. El pas tiene dos idiomas oficiales: el espaol y el guaran, que
aproximadamente 85% de la poblacin habla y entiende. Comparado con otros pases
latinoamericanos,latasadeanalfabetismode11,3%esunadelasmsaltas.Desdesuindependencia

La economa paraguaya depende mayormente de la agricultura que representa 26% del Producto
Interno Bruto (PIB). La agricultura contribuye 15%, la ganadera 8% y la silvicultura 2,5%. Estos
sectores ejercen gran influencia sobre otros mbitos de la economa. El sector agrcola genera
aproximadamente 90% de las exportaciones y emplea a 43% de la fuerza laboral del pas. Los

se caracterizan por la multiplicidad de culturas, organizacin social, estrategias de adaptacin y

inherente de la ENPAB actualizada. Al respecto, se seguir la orientacin de la CDB1, mencionando
especialmente dos directrices: (i) la Decisin IX/24 sobre la aprobacin del Plan de Accin sobre
Gnero del CDB; y (ii) la Decisin X/19 que, entre otros, invita a las Partes a considerar al gnero
como tema fundamental y transversal de la implementacin de actividades relacionadas con la

Paraguay est en proceso de implementar un proyecto de planificacin de la biodiversidad del GEF cuyo
objetivo es integrar las obligaciones del pas en virtud del Convenio sobre Diversidad Biolgica (CDB) en sus
marcos de planificacin sectorial y desarrollo nacional a travs de un proceso renovado y participativo de

2) La Estrategia y Plan de Accin Nacional para la Diversidad Biolgica del Paraguay (ENPAB) es
revisada/actualizada e integra plenamente los nuevos aspectos del Plan Estratgico del CDB, as como las
prioridades nacionales. Entre otras cuestiones, incluir la internalizacin de la biodiversidad en las polticas,

Sectoreseconmicosprincipales(agriculturaygrandesdesarrollos);
Zonasestratgicas(zonasmarinasycosteras,yelSistemaNacionaldereasProtegidas);y
Temas transversales estratgicos (especies invasoras, planificacin y gestin del uso del suelo,
financiamiento de la conservacin y uso sostenible de la biodiversidad, alivio de la pobreza y desarrollo
ruralymediosdevida,ycambioclimtico).
3) Marcos nacionales para la implementacin de la ENPAB (incluyendo movilizacin de recursos, marco

institucional, entre otros). Se establece y fortalece la presentacin de informes al CDB, as como los
mecanismosdeintercambio,incluyendoelMecanismodeFacilitacin(CHM)delCDB.
La meta ms importante del proyecto es fortalecer la capacidad nacional para la planificacin de la

biodiversidad. A fin de lograr esto, se fortalecer el equipo tcnico de la DGPCBSEAM con experiencia

based on actual services provided at the end of that year.
PART II: ENABLING ACTIVITY JUSTIFICATION
A. ENABLING ACTIVITY BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT (Provide brief information about projects implemented since
a country became party to the convention and results achieved):
Bio-geographical context
The Republic of Paraguay is a landlocked country located in central South America, bordering Argentina to the south and west,
and Brazil and Bolivia to the east and north. With an area of 406 752 km2, Paraguay is the fifth smallest country in South
America, and according to the National Census (2002) the country is inhabited by 5,206,101 people (51% men and 49% women)
with a density of 10.2 people per km2, one of the lowest in the subcontinent.
The Paraguay River divides the country in two different natural regions: the Eastern and Western, or Chaco, of Paraguay. The
first, where the capital is based, represents 39% of the national territory, and contains the 97% of the population. In contrast, the
Chaco occupies 61% the total area and only features 3% of the population.
The country is located entirely in the basin of the Rio de la Plata, and is characterized by a network of tributaries, streams and
rivers. Paraguay has two main waterways, the Paraguay and Parana Rivers, with an area of 3.1 million km2. This system is the
fourth largest in the world, and has tremendous social and economic importance.
The four major ecoregions in Paraguay (Dinerstein et al. 1995) include:
a. The Atlantic Forest of Alto Parana

This ecoregion is described as a subtropical forest, known also as Selva Paranaense, which originally covered eastern Paraguay,
northeastern Argentina and South Brazil. This forest ecoregion has been identified as one of the most threatened ecosystems in
the world due to its high biodiversity and endemism, and only about 7% of its original area remains unaltered.
(Biodiversity Support Program, 1995).
b. The Chaco
The Chaco occupies a large area and relatively flat alluvial soil of Paraguay, Argentina and Bolivia. This ecoregion is divided
into two sub-ecoregions: wet Chaco and dry Chaco. The dry Chaco is characterized by a subtropical semi-deciduous forest on dry
xerophytic (Guyra Paraguay, 2001). The International Institute for Environment and Development (1985) describes as a complex
wet Chaco savannah subject to periodic flooding wooded with palms karanda'y formations (Copernicia sp.).
c. The Pantanal
This ecoregion constitutes the world's largest wetland. Although most of the ecoregion is located in Brazil, a small but important
portion is found in Paraguay. This ecosystem is of great importance for species migration and fish diversity.
d. The Cerrado
The second most extensive ecoregion in South America, the Cerrado is a comparatively small and discontinuous mosaic of
gently rolling topography with sandy soils.
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact number of endemic plant species in Paraguay because flora studies are in progress.
Preliminarily, it can be said that almost all of the species are endemic to the River Plate Basin and many of them are endemic to
Paraguay. For example, of the 156 species of common trees, 107 (69%) are regional endemics shared with neighboring countries
(Acevedo, 1998). The faunal diversity reflects the variety of ecosystems in the country. There are an estimated 100,000 species of
invertebrates and 1233 to 1336 vertebrates (29 families and 87 genera). In Paraguay, 32 species of mammals are known to be
used for subsistence, commerce, utilities, ornamental and medicinal ceremonies.
There are a number of threatened floral species in Paraguay, including 15 endangered, 125 vulnerable, 115 rare, and 24
threatened.
Socio-economic context
With an annual growth rate of 2.4%, and with 45.8% of its population scattered in rural areas, the country has the highest rural
population in South America. Paraguay is a bilingual and multicultural country, where almost 95% of the population is mestizo,
and 5% is composed of natives and immigrants from various origins. The country has two official languages: Spanish and
Guarani, which is spoken and understood by approximately 85% of the population of Paraguay. Compared to other Latin
American countries, the illiteracy rate of 11.3% is among the highest. Since independence in 1811, Paraguay experienced three
long dictatorships and devastating wars.
The Paraguayan economy is highly dependent on agriculture, which accounts for 26% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Agriculture contributes 15%, livestock 8%, and forestry 2.5%. These sectors exert great influence on other areas of the economy.
The agricultural sector generates about 90% of exports and employs 43% of the country's workforce. Financial services, the
State and construction contribute 43%, while basic services like electricity, drinking water, transport and communications
contribute 10% of the GDP (MAG / WB / UNDP, 1997). The World Bank suggests that the volume of the informal sector could
exceed the total GDP.
Paraguay is a country with a very high degree of poverty, which is further aggravated by high inequality in the distribution of
income and land tenure. In fact, the richest 10% of the population receives 40% of total income, and the poorest 40% only 10%
of total revenues. In addition, 10% of the rural population has 66% of the land, while 30% are landless, and another 30% have
only 7% of the total land.
There are 19 indigenous groups in Paraguary, with five language families. The Indian Census of 2002 recorded at 85,674
indigenous people, representing 1.65% of total population of the country. The Indians of Paraguay are characterized by the
multiplicity of cultures, social organization, adaptive strategies and social conditions of existence. A major problem faced by
indigenous people is discrimination of the surrounding society.
Threats to biodiversity
Invasive alien species: One of the main threats to biodiversity in Paraguay is alien invasive species. SEAM has documented a list
containing 32 orders, 67 families and 253 species of plants, mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects which are not
native. Many of these are causing havoc on vulnerable ecological systems.
Change in land use: Changes in land use, especially in the eastern region, have been very rapid, especially in the last three
decades of the twentieth century. The economic boom that brought about the construction of the Itaipu dam (IB) on the Parana
River on the border with Brazil, made possible the substantial expansion of a new road network, the advance of the agricultural
frontier and the establishment and rapid growth of urban centers, especially in the East. In 1997, it was reported that only 7% of
native forests in this region remained. The situation is different in the western region, where climatic constraints prevent human
settlements. However, recent mega infrastructure projects are proposed for the Chaco include large tracts of land in the Upper
Paraguay. The Chaco still possesses more than 2/3 of its territory in natural land cover.
Deforestation: Deforestation has historically been an important threat to biodiversity. Deforestation rates peaked between 1986
and 1991 with annual rates of 6.5%.
Illegal hunting: Hunting and illegal capture of wildlife species are a serious problem in the country. The magnitude of this
problem has not been fully quantified, but the seizure of illegal shipments of both skins and live animals is clear evidence that
despite the efforts of authorities to apply the sanctions provided for in laws relating to wildlife, the problem persists. The species
most affected by the illegal skins are alligators (Caiman spp.) and the land iguana (Tupinambis spp.). The live animal trade is
focused on several species of parrots, macaws and parrots (Family Psittacidae), some of which are in serious danger of extinction
in the country and throughout its range of regional distribution.
Development of infrastructure: The construction and expansion of the national road network and the proposed implementation of
megaprojects continue to contribute substantially to the deterioration of natural resources, either by their direct or indirect
environmental impacts.
Dams: Despite its small size, Paraguay has four hydroelectric dams, one of which is the largest in the world. The construction of
large dams causes an array of threats to biodiversity, including the flooding of hundreds of thousands of hectares, disruption of
hydrological flow regimes and significant barriers to migratory fish species.
Institutional framework
SEAM consists of four departments:
Department of Environmental Management: This department, which is part of the Office of Management and Environmental
Information, formulates, coordinates and oversees policies, programs and projects including intergovernmental programs
environmental education and awareness campaigns, international relations issues, and the National Environmental Information
System.
Department of Environmental Quality Control and Natural Resources: This agency, which was formed by the Department of
Environmental Quality Control and the Directorate of Environmental Impact Assessment, formulates, coordinates, monitors,
evaluates and implements, in a partnership with regional governments and municipalities, a variety of programs, projects, and
activities, including the evaluation of impact studies and environmental quality management.
General Directorate of Protection and Conservation of Biodiversity: This agency covers the Department of Wildlife
Management, the Directorate for Biological Research / National Museum of Natural History of Paraguay, the Department of
Fisheries and Aquaculture and the Department of Protected Areas. It is responsible for creating, administering, managing, and
monitoring protected areas, and for establishing strategies for biodiversity conservation, including hunting, breeding, traffic and
commercialization of wildlife. It is also responsible for implementing the National Wilderness Protection Act, including in
government and private sectors.
General Directorate of Protection and Conservation of Water Resources: This agency, which is composed of the Management
Division of Water Resources and Watershed Management, is responsible for developing and monitoring watershed health,
proposing and promoting regulatory regimes. The agency is also responsible for developing institutional mechanisms and actions
aimed at sustainable use of water resources through an integrated approach to watershed management, for promoting inter-
sectoral and jurisdictional cooperation at the watershed level in order to implement the national water policy, and for proposing
and promoting standards, benchmarks and indicators related to the quality and availability of water resources.
Protected areas in Paraguay and implementation of the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas
Paraguay has a robust network of protected areas, with 31 public protected areas, covering 2.4 million hectares, 19 private
reserves totaling 283,500 hectares, 7 biological refuges totaling 46,600 hectares, and 3 biosphere reserves totaling 3.4 million
acres. Altogether, Paraguay has protected 15.1% of its terrestrial area. A full and updated list of Paraguays protected areas is
available at: http://www.seam.gov.py/images/stories/seam/sinasip/lista_areas_protegidas_2010.pdf.

Key barriers to the effective implementation of the CBD Strategic Plan
Based on the thematic and interdisciplinary analyzes performed during the National Capacity Self-Assessment6 the following are
critical capacities that must be improved:
a) The ability to incorporate CBD obligations into national legislation in policies and institutions. In particular this means
better staff training in legal and technical issues associated with the Convention.
b) Improved economic instruments and sustainable financial mechanisms, including a comprehensive training on natural
resource utilization and management as well as internal development of valuation of these resources, which may lead to
an improved funding base.
c) Improved planning and management, especially of the monitoring and evaluation process. The country requires more
professionals who have access to continuous training processes, and who know how to use and manage information, to
carry out clear and transparent accountability of budgets and expenditures, and who can strengthen national capacity in
terms of environmental governance.
d) The improved collection, management and exchange of information. There is a basic need to improve existing structures
of exchange and information management, among which is providing continuity to the processes started and improving
the necessary information management skills of national experts. In particular there is a need to make access to
information a simple and agile procedure.
e) Use of scientific information and policy, planning and management: It is necessary to consolidate and strengthen the
existing infrastructure, and to generate, manage and update databases more reliably.
f) Awareness / public awareness and environmental education: There is a need to integrate environmental issues into the
educational system, promoting education and environmental awareness at all levels and adapting it to each audience,
both in Spanish and in Guarani.
g) Development and Technology Transfer: It is necessary to improve access to new technologies; hold professional
trainings to strengthen inter-agency cooperation with universities and national schools; and to fully utilize the existing
institutions in the country.
h) Coordination across sectors: For this it is necessary to create rapid and efficient mechanisms for the transmission of
information between different sectors, and to avoid duplication of work and encouraging synergies. It is also necessary
to foster inter and intra-institutional agreements for cooperation between government and universities, NGOs and other
sectors of civil society and encourage networking in order to raise awareness of the three conventions and related
processes.

B. ENABLING ACTIVITY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES (The proposal should briefly justify the need for the project.)
The Baseline Project: The Current NBSAP and the new CBD Strategic Plan
The new CBD Strategic Plan, adopted at CoP-10 in 2010 in Nagoya, clearly addresses the need for updating NBSAPs, stating in
Target 17 that By 2015, each Party has developed, adopted as a policy instrument, and has commenced implementing an
effective, participatory and updated national biodiversity strategy and action plan. The strategic plan also covers a range of
issues that will need to be incorporated into the revised NBSAPs, including guidance to countries to: a) fully realize the value of
biodiversity and ecosystem services, and incorporate these values into national and local development and poverty reduction
strategies (Targets 1 and 2); b) increase the global terrestrial protected area estate from 12% to 17% and the marine estate from
6% to 10% (Target 11); c) restore and safeguard key ecosystem services, especially for water, health and livelihoods (Target 14);
and d) strengthen ecosystem resilience to climate change and promote ecosystem-based approaches to climate change adaptation
and mitigation (Target 15).
The most recent NBSAP for Paraguay was completed in 2003. This version of the NBSAP does not include the below listed
elements of the CBD Strategic Plans Aichi Targets now seen as needs, gaps or advances that were not addressed at that time.
This second generation strategy aims to comply with these international requirements, and further close gaps in the
implementation of the national and international agreements taking into account the achievements of the 2003 NBS and
addressing unsolved, new and emerging challenges. Key issues for implementing the Strategic Plan that were not addressed in
Paraguays 2003 NBSAP include:
A plan for integrating the value of biodiversity into national and local development strategies and planning processes
incorporated into national accounting, as appropriate, and reporting systems (Target 2)
A plan for creating incentives and removing harmful subsidies (Target 3).
A plan for fully implementing the Programme of Work on Protected Areas, including increased protection and
landscape/seascape connectivity (Target 11). Although Paraguay has a modestly robust protected area network, it has
not been designed with climate resilience, ecosystem services of sustainable livelihoods in mind.
A plan for restoring and safeguarding ecosystems that provide essential services, including services related to water, and
contribute to health, livelihoods and well-being (Target 14) the issue of ecosystem-based livelihoods is critical in
Paraguay, yet this issue is not adequately addressed in the 2003 NBSAP.
A plan for the mobilization of financial resources for effectively implementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-
2020 from all sources (Target 20)
Proposed Response and Rationale: This project seeks to fully incorporate the above issues into the NBSAP. This
new generation of NBSAP will help set a regional standard of excellence by creating a national road map for
achieving the Aichi Targets. Special emphasis will be placed on mainstreaming biodiversity into development plans,
incorporating protected area networks and sustainable production systems into ecosystem-based climate adaptation
and resilience plans, and creating sustainable finance for biodiversity conservation.
Alignment with Focal Area Outcome(s):

BD5 Objective: Integrate CBD Obligations into National Planning Processes through Enabling Activities (herein
serving as the Project Development Goal):
Focal Area Outcome 5.1: Development and sectoral planning frameworks at country level integrate measurable
biodiversity conservation and sustainable use targets.
The Project Objective is:

To integrate Paraguays obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) into its national development and
sectorial planning frameworks through a renewed and participative biodiversity planning and strategizing process, in a manner
that is in line with the global guidance contained in the CBDs Strategic Plan for 2011-2020.
This will be achieved through the following Outcomes (corresponding to components described in detail below):
Component/Outcome 1 A participative stocktaking exercise on biodiversity planning takes place and progresses are
made in the establishment of national biodiversity targets in response to the global Aichi Targets and national priorities
Component/Outcome 2 The NBSAP is revised and updated and fully integrates new aspects of the CBD strategic plan
and national priorities, such as mainstreaming and anchoring the implementation of the plan into national development
frameworks, valuing ecosystem services and promoting ecosystem-based adaptation and resilience
Component/Outcome 3 National frameworks for resources mobilization, convention reporting and exchange
mechanisms are established and strengthened
Refer to Part I, Table A and to the next section for more details.
How the project plans to build national capacity:
Enabling Activities are considered foundation activities within the framework of the GEF. The ultimate goal of Biodiversity
Enabling Activities is to build national capacity across the board for biodiversity management. The effective achievement of
global biodiversity benefits depend on the development of national capacity for managing biodiversity. The more robust this
capacity is in a given country, the more effective the national implementation of the CBD will be.
This project will build national capacity in Paraguay in the following manner:
Much of the work under this project will be carried out through working groups. This is an ideal forum for imparting
knowledge among different individuals involved in biodiversity planning and in environmental matters in Paraguay in
Individual general. For many of the civil servants and NGO staff in Paraguay, the opportunity for working within a project like
this is a form of training. Furthermore, consultation, participation and ownership are guiding principles of biodiversity
planning processes. These are part and parcel of this proposal.
UNDPs approach to Biodiversity Enabling activities in GEF5 goes beyond the mere production of national reports and
strategies to the CBD and the development of a website for the CHM. Rather, it is concerned about the developing a
permanent framework for reporting to the CBD and for maintaining the CHM interesting and up to date. This implies
institutionalizing the capacity for eventually achieving this with as little external assistance as possible. Given the
ambitious targets of the CBD Strategic Plan (2011-2020), it is recognized that actions to engage external assistance and
retain national are in the meanwhile needed. This will be availed through the project. In particular, the following
Organizational activities are specially targeted at building organizational capacity:
Taking stock of the NBSAP and identifying barriers to its implementation
Setting targets and priorities
Developing implementation plans for the revised NBSAP
Assessing and strengthening capacity needs
Developing clearinghouse mechanisms
Developing a permanent framework for reporting to the CBD
The approach that UNDP has developed for Biodiversity Enabling Activities in GEF5 is transformational with respect
to systemic capacity elements (i.e. policy, economic, regulatory, and accountability frameworks within which
organizations and individuals operate). The aim is to ensure that the objectives, targets and guidance from the CBD
Strategic Plan (2011-2020) become fully anchored into national development frameworks. This will be achieved by the
development of the following new aspects of the CBD strategic plan: (i) the valuing of ecosystem goods and services;
(ii) mainstreaming; and (iii) the incorporation of challenges and opportunities linked to ecosystem-based adaptation and
resilience. The knowledge developed through these activities will become part of Paraguays new NBSAP and will
Systemic have a greater chance of influencing and even becoming policy. In particular, the following activities are specially
targeted at building systemic capacity:
Mainstreaming biodiversity into development policies, plans and practices and into sectoral plans and
strategies
Incorporating climate change issues into NBSAPs
Integrating the NBSAP implementation plan with the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas
implementation plan
Securing sustainable finance for NBSAP implementation

Brief Review of the Biodiversity Planning Process in Paraguay: routes of action to anchor NBSAP into national development
frameworks in five institutions
Biodiversity Targets for Paraguay: As part of national efforts to implement the CBDs Strategic Plan for 2011-2020
Key Activities (I-II):
I. Preparing for the NBSAP implementation
Taking stock of the NBSAP and identifying barriers to its implementation: This activity will focus on rapidly but
accurately identifying the root causes of biodiversity loss, and taking stock of existing plans, policies and practices in
key public institutions and the decentralization system of municipalities and development councils through SEAM.
Within country-specific contexts, the aim is not only to identify key threats, but to understand the drivers behind these
threats, as well as the key aspects of the policy environment that are barriers and challenges to effective
conservation/sustainable use. Based on existing studies and analyses, including conceptual ecological models, the
emphasis of this activity will be on prioritizing and identifying key gaps in the existing NBSAP, understanding the
primary drivers and root causes, and identifying the means of overcoming existing barriers and challenges.
Stakeholder consultation and participation: This activity will focus on ensuring a robust consultative process that
engages representatives from key public and private sectors, administrative leaders, and traditionally under-represented
groups involved directly or indirectly in biodiversity knowledge, conservation and sustainable management. The aim is
to develop and sustain a participatory process in order to increase the likelihood of successful implementation of the
NBSAP. This activity is especially important relative to the goals of mainstreaming biodiversity into national
development plans. It is equally important in terms of incorporating the valuation of environmental goods and services
nationwide into institutional plans, including those services provided by Paraguays System of Protected Areas.
Stakeholder consultation and participation is also important for the goals of promoting resilient landscapes that include
production sectors as part of the new NBSAP development process. Social mediation services specialised in stakeholder
engagement at the local level will play a role in ensuring wide participation in meetings and consultations. The costs of
such consultations will be kept to a minimum. The distribution of printed material will also be important for the wide
engagement of national stakeholders.
II. Setting targets
Feedback mechanisms for target monitoring: This activity focuses on monitoring specific, measurable, achievable and
time-bound targets for the NBSAPs based on the global Aichi Targets, emphasizing targets on assessing and capturing
the value of ecosystem goods and services, restoration of ecosystems, protected area coverage, overall biodiversity loss,
and other aspects of the Strategic Plan. Previous stakeholder consultation and participation will be key in developing and
incorporating mechanisms for target monitoring in each sector linked to biodiversity. This activity, which is linked to
priority setting among different aspects within the NBSAP, will be completed before CoP-11.
Component 2. NBSAP update.
Key Outputs expected under this component includes the following:
2.1. The National Biodiversity Strategy for Paraguay, anchored into national development frameworks, is revised and updated, in
a manner that is participative, widely disseminated and fully integrates new aspects of the CBD strategic plan, including: (i)
mainstreaming; (ii) the valuing of ecosystem goods and services; and (iii) the incorporation of challenges and opportunities
linked to ecosystem-based adaptation and resilience; iv) strengthening of the protected area system.
2.2. The updated and fully endorsed NBSAPs for Paraguay is submitted to the CBD,
2.3. Action Plans and/or roadmaps in strategic areas, i.e. invasive species, national protected area system, policies, financial
mechanism, climate change resilience, have been developed
Key Outcome:
- By 2014, Paraguays NBSAP is fully updated, it is in line with the guidance in the CBD Strategic Plan (2011-2020) and has
been submitted to the CBD COP

Key Activity (III)
III. Implementing the NBSAP

This step will seek to achieve the following: (i) Identify strategies to implement NBSAP at sub-national and local levels,
including the National Development Council System; and (ii) Sectorial integration including mainstreaming into
development, poverty reduction and climate change plans through sectorial consultations and jointly identify implementation
mechanisms.
While the project will focus on updating all aspects of NBSAP, it will place particular emphasis on those aspects that are
both highlighted in the 2011-2020 CBD Strategic Plan, and that are country priorities to guarantee biological diversity
conservation and sustainable use. These include the following:
Assessing and integrating ecosystem services through economic valuation: The study on the Economics of Ecosystems
and Biodiversity (TEEB) has drawn attention to the global economic benefits of biodiversity and ecosystem services and
to the growing costs of biodiversity loss and degradation. However, Paraguay has yet to link the value of biodiversity
and ecosystem services to its own national development goals, especially regarding poverty eradication and sustainable
livelihoods. Based on the results developed through stocktaking activities, Paraguay will demonstrate the benefits and
values of ecosystems and biodiversity at a national level through the development of at least two TEEB-like case studies
of livelihoods to better link ecosystems and sustainable livelihoods that will contribute to national development plans.
The aim is to strengthen the point that biodiversity not only underpins human well-being, but that biodiversity and
associated ecosystem services can make a significant contribution to poverty reduction, as well as human and economic
development. By engaging national specialists and providing support from global specialists, hard economic data will be
collected and processed at the country level to demonstrate the costs and benefits of investing in biodiversity
management, taking into consideration the results of the developed case studies. Capacity to carry out the assessments
and make important links to priority economic sectors will be simultaneously built within the country. The availability
of essential data and the analysis will allow Paraguay to make the case for biodiversity and will facilitate the process
of mainstreaming biodiversity into sectoral planning through concrete biodiversity valuation examples.
Specific steps in this process include:

a. Contract TEEB specialists and conform necessary field teams to gather required information for TEEB
assessment for at least two case studies (for example forestry concessions in local communities and honey
production)
b. Identify and assess the full range of values of key ecosystem services within the country, based on existing
local, national, regional and global studies on the value of ecosystems and biodiversity, including: the national
TEEB valuation results, the valuation of protected areas, any other national ecosystem services studies that
have been conducted (e.g., water, carbon, polination), and existing global and regional maps and overlays of
key ecosystem services.
c. Identify the implications of these services for different stakeholder groups within the country, including those
who benefit from, and pay for, the maintenance of these ecosystem services, and those that degrade ecosystems
through unsustainable use. Specific interest will be placed on identifying the use and non-use value, as well as
resilience value and physical for each case study, making a point of recognizing the value of biodiversity and
ecosystem services for both case studies.
d. Estimate and demonstrate the value of key ecosystem services (using methods appropriate to each case study),
including the value of the ecosystem service in contributing to climate resilience, adaptation and mitigation;
reducing poverty, and sustaining livelihoods. This process will include calculating the costs and benefits of
conserving the ecosystem services provided.
e. This process will also help identify potential means of capturing the value of ecosystem services and
biodiversity of both case studies, incorporating the values of ecosystems into decision making, through
incentives and price signals for both case studies.
f. Design protocols to systematize and register biological diversity valuation experiences and criteria, articulating
prioritized stakeholders to incorporate valuation mechanisms in their organizations.
Strengthening protected areas: The protected area network, while moderately robust, was not designed to provide
climate change resilience, adaptation and mitigation measures, to sustain critical ecosystem services, nor provide for
sustainable livelihoods. As part of the NBSAP development process, SEAM will assess gaps in the protected area
network, assess key capacities for managing protected areas, and develop strategies for filling these gaps.
Mainstreaming biodiversity into development policies, plans and practices and into sectoral plans and strategies:
Mainstreaming has been defined as the internalization of biodiversity conservation goals into economic and
development sectors, policies and programs, such that they become an integral part of their functioning of these sectors.7
As part of this process, Paraguay will focus on key sectors involving biodiversity management at a
national level, including those sectors prioritized through the stocktaking activities, through the
7
Petersen, C and B. Huntley. 2005. Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Productive Landscapes. Working Paper 20. Washington DC: GEF.
development of prioritization criteria. These key sectors will include national planning and
coordinating institutions. These actors are directly involved in: agriculture, forestry, livestock,
fisheries, development planning and finance; water and economic development.
The Project will also focus on the following development areas / topics: land-use planning and
management, including spatial and infrastructural development planning; rural development and
livelihoods; local development and decentralization; rights of indigenous groups; development
finance; poverty alleviation; food security and climate change mainstreaming.
Specific steps in this process will include:

a. Forming partnerships between relevant stakeholders interested in biodiversity conservation issues and in
development issues, this process will have begun through stocktaking activity development
b. Producing a validated draft of the NBSAP and submit it to the press for the publication to be widely
disseminated thanks to the key partnership with relevant stakeholders identified and prioritized.
c. Explicitly identifying key stakeholders interests and desired outcomes. This will allow for the elaboration of a
diffusion plan to widely disseminate the NBSAP among prioritized stakeholders.
d. Identifying potential conflicts and trade-offs, and work towards mutually acceptable solutions, including
strategies that serve mutually beneficial interests and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
e. Embedding and institutionalizing these strategies in the institutions, policies, agreements, programs and
mechanisms of each sector, through the agreement on courses of action plans to mainstream NBSAP in key
identified institutions.
Incorporating climate change issues into NBSAPs: The previous NBSAP did not adequately address aspects of climate
change. While there is data and fine-scale modelling available on possible climate change scenarios, the issue of climate
change adaptation based on ecosystem services remained sub-explored. In order to shape the national strategy, some
experiential knowledge, combined with technical analysis, is needed. The same may be said about ecosystem-based
mitigation of climate change, which primarily builds on carbon sequestration and avoided emissions, and the role of
forests. This activity will specifically involve the incorporation of restoration activities as one of the main targets for
climate change adaptation based on ecosystems in relation to country specific environmental vulnerability,
fragmentation and biodiversity loss.
Component 3. National frameworks for NBSAP implementation, CDB reporting and information exchange
mechanisms
Key outputs expected under this component includes the following:
3.1 National frameworks for NBSAP implementation is in place and includes: (i) institutional leadership for implementation is
established and strategic partnerships forged (nationally and internationally); (ii) a costed and prioritized Action Plan is
appended to the NBS; (iii) needs assessments on capacity, technology and finance are carried out; and (iv) a strategy for
resource mobilization for the implementation of the NBSAP is produced and includes a baseline assessment of existing
biodiversity finance.
3.2 An effective, user-friendly and easily updatable country-driven CHM site is developed; it is linked up to the CBDs global
CHM networks and to other information and knowledge exchange network on biodiversity.
3.3 Immediate CBD reporting obligations are met by Paraguay in a timely manner: (1) By the end of 2013, Paraguay has
developed national targets to achieve the CBD Strategic Plan; and (2) The Fifth National Report to the CBD by March 2014.
Key Outcomes:
- By 2013, complete the updating and improvement of national clearinghouse mechanisms
- By 2014, complete plan for implementing the NBSAP, including capacity, technology and finance needs assessment
Key Products or publications (maybe combined into one):

Set of straight-forward and feasible NBSAP implementation plans, which ensure the effective implementation of the
Action Plan contained in the NBSAP
Fully functional CHM for Paraguay, based on best international practice on the matter
Key Activities (IV V)
IV. Developing implementation plans
This activity will focus on developing an overall plan for implementing the NBSAP. This implementation plan will
include the following components:
a) Developing an overall implementation plan: The primary output of this activity is an overall implementation plan that
delineates major steps, responsible parties, costs for main activities, expected outcomes and a timeline. As with other
activities under this project, this one will be highly participative to ensure the wide societal support to the
implementation of the new NBSAP.
b) Integrating the NBSAP implementation plan with the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas implementation
plan: Paraguay has made progress in implementing the Programme of Work on Protected Areas. Several protected areas
have concrete management plans, and much information has been produced on the National System of Protected Areas
and its financial aspects. However, there are many areas that lag behind, including sustainable finance, transboundary
areas and connectivity, effective management of existing areas, and the establishment of sufficient coverage and
representativeness of protected areas. The updated NBSAP will include a specific plan for implementing the PoWPA,
with specific milestones and targets, along with an assessment of how this implementation will help achieve the main
objectives included in this proposal.
c) Securing sustainable finance for NBSAP implementation: Article 20 of the Convention mentions the need for Parties to
provide, in accordance with its capabilities, financial support and incentives in respect of those national activities which
are intended to achieve the objectives of this Convention. In the past few years, there has been a wide proliferation of
innovative biodiversity finance mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services, conservation trust funds,
biodiversity offsets and bio-carbon funding, among many others. Paraguay is still in the early stages of exploring these
mechanisms. Based on the identification of existing financial gaps for NBSAP implementation, this activity will
therefore focus on the following:
Develop mechanisms to guarantee governmental budget assigned to biological diversity activities, linking tax
collection based on biodiversity valuation.
Promote the development and use of economic indicators linked to biological diversity management and its use to
assign institutional budgets at a national level.
Develop a Resource Mobilization Plan for NBSAP implementation, based on innovative sources of conservation
finance / biodiversity finance, which remain sub-explored in Paraguay.
Assessing the feasibility for these revenue sources.
d) Assessing and strengthening capacity needs: One of the primary areas of enabling activities is the assessment of capacity
needs. The decisions at CoP-10 place new and ambitious demands on countries, including requirements to protect and
sustainably manage their lands and water, to develop comprehensive plans that integrate climate change into their land
use, development and sectoral plans and strategies, and to develop appropriate biodiversity and climate policies, laws
and incentives. This activity will ensure that Paraguay develops a road map for strengthening these specific capacities
through the design and implementation of a Capacity Development Program based in updating, training and professional
accreditation of personnel involved in biological diversity management; as well as building alliances with key national
stakeholders to implement the plan (based on stocktaking stakeholders and developed activities). The first step to
develop is a capacity needs assessment that will identify main gaps along with capacity-building strategies to fill those
gaps. A National Capacity Development specialist for NBSAP implementation will be engaged to lead this activity.
IV. Institutionalizing, monitoring and reporting
Monitoring and reporting on the status of biodiversity under climate change scenarios: Monitoring and reporting on the
status of biodiversity is a key aspect of several Programs of Work within the CBD. To date, efforts to monitor and report
on the status of biodiversity have been sporadic and have typically not taken into full account the status and trends of
biodiversity, the status of effective conservation, the contribution of ecosystem services (such as water and carbon), and
the likely impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Through this project, Paraguay will ensure
that future monitoring and reporting on the status of biodiversity and ecosystem services is comprehensive, and fully
incorporates climate change issues. Indicators developed for the NBSAP will be evaluated to guarantee they respond to
human wellbeing, climate change, poverty alleviation, food security and vulnerability reduction issues.
Developing clearinghouse mechanisms (CHM): Of the 90 countries that accessed funding under the Fourth National
Report joint global project (UNDP-UNEP/GEF), only 44 had national CHM sites, and of those, 25 were kept up-to-date
(data from 2010). At the same time that CHMs are largely out of date, reliance on digital information has increased
exponentially and Paraguay is no exception. The key challenges relate to the upload of key information for supporting
timely decision-making on biodiversity management, expanding webhosting services, using more modern software to
use and publish certain services and applications within the site linking up to other services and databases. This aspect of
the project will help Paraguay overcome those challenges so as to more effectively share information nationally,
regionally and globally. The project will also work in collaboration with the CHM of the Secretariat of the CBD, to
ensure that lessons and information are disseminated globally. Proposed activities will include:
o Identifying programmatic areas that are priority for the country, based on the National Environmental Policy
approved in 2004, allowing the redistribution and reorganization of the CHM website.
o Developing a network of associates and biodiversity related institutions, organizations and national actors,
creating linkages that facilitate scientific and technical cooperation. This activity aims to establish the National
Biological Diversity Observatory with wide participation from national public and private sectors, including
national, international and State funds that will allow the development of an interconnected system of information
technologies.
o Building and inventory of biological diversity projects and initiatives fed by key governmental and non-
governmental organizations and universities.
o Assessing sustainability and funding potential of the CHM national site.
Developing a permanent framework for reporting to the CBD: Parties to the CBD committed to submitting a fifth
national report by March 2014. In this project, Paraguay will submit a 5th National Report that fully covers the NBSAPs,
key changes in the status and trends in biodiversity status, threats and conservation, and will develop a long-term
reporting framework that will enable Paraguay to better track changes over time. An expert working group of 4-6 people
will be engaged in completing this activity, preferably before the deadline, given the short duration of the project. The
report will build on the studies and the NBSAP produced with assistance from the project. Activities will include:
o Agreement on the V National Report structure based on CBD guidelines
o Identification of key components of biodiversity whose status must be updated, establishing trends
o Identification of main threats to biodiversity (ecosystems, populations and genes)
o Establishment of information to be included as part of strategies and action plans of the Report
o Identify indicators to measure progress to meet the Aichi targets, in line with current NBSAP
o Selection of key stakeholders, consultants and specific tasks to be developed to compile information to be
submitted in the Report. 500 copies will be published of the V National Report, submitting it to the CBD in a
timely manner.
o
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS:
The project will be implemented over a period of two years using the UNDP modality of national execution (NIM)]. The General
Directorship for Biodiversity Protection and Conservation (DGPCB) of the SEAM is the designated national institution
responsible for the implementation of the project and will act as the Executing Agency. UNDP is the GEF Agency for the project
and accountable to the GEF for the use of funds.
The process will be organized at three levels: (i) National Project Directorship; (ii) Project Operations Team; (iii) Project
Advisory Group & Sectorial Advisory Groups.
The overall responsibility for the project implementation by DBPC-SEAM implies the timely and verifiable attainment of project
objectives and outcomes. DBPC-SEAM will provide support to, and inputs for, the implementation of all project activities.
SEAM will appoint a high level official who will serve as the National Project Director (NPD) for the project implementation,
who may be the Minister, the General Director of DGPCB or another duly appointed officer. The NPD will not be paid from the
project funds, but will represent a Government cash contribution to the Project. The NPD will be technically supported by a
Project Operations Team as well as UNDPs technical backstopping provided by the UNDP/GEF Regional Technical Advisor
responsible for the project and the UNDP Environment Programme Officer at the Country Office.
The Project Operations Team (POT) will be constituted by members of the DGPCB-SEAM, and will be strengthened by
specialists in core areas, namely: specialist on strategic planning, biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, strategic
communication and information management. Furthermore an administrative assistant will be hired. The expert in strategic
planning (ESP) is accountable to the General Director of the DGPCB for the quality, timeliness and effectiveness of the activities
carried out, as well as for the use of funds. The POT will also be technically supported by contracted national consultants and
service providers.
Recruitment of project staff and specialist services for the project will be coordinated by the ESP, in consultation with the UNDP
and DGBPC-SEAM using standard UNDP recruitment procedures.
Working closely with DGBPC-SEAM, the UNDP Country Office (UNDP-CO) will be responsible for: (i) providing financial
and audit services to the project; (ii) recruitment of project staff and contracting of consultants and service providers; (iii)
overseeing financial expenditures against project budgets approved by PSC; (iv) appointment of independent financial auditors;
and (iv) ensuring that all activities including procurement and financial services are carried out in strict compliance with
UNDP/GEF procedures. A UNDP staff member will be assigned with the responsibility for the day-to-day management and
control over project finance.
A Project Advisory Commitee (PAC) will be established. The PAC will be appointed regularly as a consultative body, to provide
advice to the POT and PSC when requested. If needed, Sectoral Advisory Groups will be established to address particular topics.
Other stakeholders will be invited to be part of the PAC and sub-groups.
As part of these institutional arrangements the following stakeholders, amongst others, will be considered:
- ANDE Administracin Nacional de Electricidad (National Electrical Administration)

- APPA Asociacin Paraguaya de Periodistas Ambientales (Association of Environmental Journalists)
- ARP Asociacin Rural del Paraguay (Rural Association of Paraguay)
- CONADERNA Comisin Nacional de Defensa de los Recursos Naturales (National Commission of Nature
Protection)
- CONAM Consejo Nacional del Ambiente (National Environmental Council)
- CRIA Centro Regional de Investigacin Agrcola (Center for Regional Agricultural Research)
- DGEEC Direccin General de Estadstica, Encuestas y Censos (Department of general statistics and census)
- DIA Direccin de Investigacin Agrcola (Department of Agricultural Research)
- DIB/MNHNP Direccin de Investigacin Biolgica/Museo Nacional de Historia Natural del Paraguay (Museum of
Natural History of Paraguay)
- Environment and IP NGOs.
- IABIN Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network
- IBR Instituto de Bienestar Rural (Institute of Rural Wellbeing)
- INDI Instituto Paraguayo del Indgena (Paraguay Indigenous Institute)
- MAG Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadera (Ministry of Food and Agriculture)
- MEC Ministerio de Educacin y Cultura (Ministry of Education and Culture)
- MIC Ministerio de Industria y Comercio (Ministry of Industry and Commerce)
- MSPBS Ministerio de Salud Pblica y Bienestar Social (Ministry of Public Health and Wellbeing)
- MOPC Ministerio de Obras Pblicas y Comunicaciones (Ministry of Public Works and Communication)
- National and International NGOs
- Private Sector
- SAS Secretara de Accin Social (Secretary of Social Action)
- SENATUR Secretara Nacional del Turismo (Secretary of National Tourism)
- SFN Servicio Forestal Nacional (National Forest Service)
- UNA Universidad Nacional de Asuncin
Several steps will be taken to ensure effective IP participation: SEAM will seek advice from the INDI but also from IP networks
and NGO to ensure that the adequate mechanism is in place for indigenous people participation in the NBSAP design and
implementation; as during the design of the 2004-2009 NBSAP, it is expected that IP will take part of working groups, IP
representatives may be invited to be part of the PAC, while SEAM will build upon already existing IP working groups/strategic
Alliance to ensure IP cosmovision is duly taken into account during thematic discussions.
Project consistency with national strategies and plans or reports and assessments relevant for the CBD, as well as other
cross-cutting assessments and priority setting exercises
Paraguay ratified the UN Convention of Biological Diversity in 1994. The country has made important efforts to fulfil its
obligations under the CBD, as well as to implement the Convention at the national level, including several of its Programs of
Work. The project will build upon previous biodiversity planning processes, which produced the 2003 NBSAP, national reports
to the CBD and related conventions, plus capacity assessments relevant for biodiversity management in Paraguay.
Furthermore, the proposed Project will be in line with the National Environment Protection Act (LGPA) (No 17.283, 2000), the
Law for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development (Law No 18.308, 2008), the National Protected Areas System (Law
17.234 and Decree 52/005), the Environmental Impact Assessment Law (16.466, Decree 349/005), among others. The Project
will further build forth on -and contributes to- new legislation relevant to the CBD.
Collaboration and synergies with related initiatives
Paraguay is gradually building a GEF portfolio of biodiversity and related projects. The Enabling Activities Technical
Coordinator, the host institution and the UNDP Country Office will ensure that this project can benefit from technical synergies
with other related initiatives. These synergies will be created primarily with the following projects:
Cross-Cutting Capacity Development Project (GEF project currently being designed): This UNDP-executed project
will focus on strengthening national capacities for global environmental management and the Rio Conventions. The
results of this project will be instrumental in building capacities regarding the Biodiversity Convention, serving as a
strong foundation for ensuring the sustainability of the biodiversity strategy.
Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Land Management into Production Practices in all
Bioregions and Biomes (GEF PIMS 4860) this recently approved PIF, which aims to ensure that the biodiversity and
ecosystem functions of the Atlantic Forest ecoregion is protected from existing and emerging threats from multi-sectoral
production practices and is a model for replication across the countrys bioregions and biomes, will provide a basis for
key strategies within the Atlantic Forest ecoregion, and will provide an opportunity for synergies in developing
protected area-based climate resilience and adaptation strategies.

SFM Improving the Conservation of Biodiversity in Atlantic Forest of Eastern Paraguay (GEF PIMS 2690): This
project, which aims to assist the government of Paraguay in its efforts to reduce the deforestation rate and associated
biodiversity loss within the productive landscape of the Paraguayan Atlantic Forest through development of connectivity
within a conservation corridor, improving the protected area system, and strengthening of the policy framework and
enforcement mechanisms, will also provide the basis for developing a comprehensive protection strategy within the
Atlantic Forest ecoregion and will provide the basis for achieving Target 5 (reducing the rate of loss of natural habitats,
including forests).
Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in the Mbaracayu Natural Reserve (GEF PIMS 1489): This project,
which aimed to conserve globally significant biodiversity in the highly threatened Interior Atlantic Forest of Paraguay
by supporting the effective protection and consolidation of the Mbaracay Natural Reserve and promoting conservation,
sustainable use, and land-use planning in the Upper Jeju River Watershed, will help provide lessons for improving the
integration of conservation, sustainable use and land-use planning.
Paraguay UN REDD Programme. The purpose of this programme implemented by the SEAM, the INFONA and the
FAPI with the support from FAO, UNDP and UNEP in Paraguay is to prepare the country for REDD mechanisms,
including the preparation of the National Forestry Inventory, a National Redd+ Plan, and an information network
mechanism, with the participation of all stakeholders, including indigenous People.
Programme on Forestry Preservation: this programme funded with Japan Official Development Assistance has the
objective of promoting efforts to reduce impacts from climate change, with a special emphasis on adaptation and
mitigation of climate change as well as access to clean energy, based on the strengthening of forest in protected areas.
COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE OF UNDP IN PARAGUAY WITH RESPECT TO THIS PROJECT:
UNDP has historically been the largest GEF implementing agency in terms of assisting countries in undertaking biodiversity
enabling activities, having assisted more than 100 countries with it through several projects. The GEF2 global project
Biodiversity Support Programme was jointly implemented with UNEP and has set the stage at the global level in the field of
biodiversity planning among GEF eligible countries.
The Government of Paraguay has requested UNDP assistance in designing and implementing this project, due to UNDPs track
record in Latin America. UNDP currently supports the development and implementation of GEF projects in numerous other
countries throughout Latin America (e.g., Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador). UNDP has an established national office in
Asucnion, with well-developed working relationships with the key stakeholders of the project. Moreover, the project will benefit
from the presence of a UNDP/GEF Regional Technical Advisor dedicated to biodiversity in Panama. UNDP also has extensive
experience in integrated policy development, human resources development, institutional strengthening, and non-governmental
and community participation.
UNDP has an established national office in Asuncion with well-developed working relationships with the key stakeholders of the
project. The Asuncion UNDP Country Office counts on two professional staff to cater for the Environment and Energy portfolio,
plus operational, senior management and support staff.
Finally, it is important to highlight the experience of UNDP-Paraguay in the implementation of similar projects; in effect, in
addition to other GEF projects, UNDP has supported SEAM in preparing the NBSAP in 2002, and NBSAP Phase 2 in 2005, the
two National Reports for the CDB (2003 and 2006) and the National Capacity Self Assessment in 2007.
Fit with UNDP and UN programming in Paraguay
This project is aligned with the United Nations Development assistance Framework (UNDAF) for 2007/-2011 (extended to
2013). This project will contribute mainly to the environmental sustainability area of the UNDAF and will be part of the
environment and vulnerability reduction component of the UNDP Country Program Document to be prepared in 2013. This area
of work move towards the implementation of sustainable development models that will foster conservation of natural resources
and ecosystems, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and the use of renewable sources of energy with the aim of reducing
social and environmental vulnerabilities and thus achieving greater social equity and environmental justice. Within this area, the
project will contribute mainly to the outcome that fosters the sustainable management of natural resources and conservation of
biodiversity.
GENDER MARKING
Paraguay enjoys relatively high gender parity. The Civil Code of Paraguay was amended in 1992 to provide women and men the
equal rights to enter into marriage. Womens access to land in Paraguay is guaranteed by Article 2 the constitution, which
provides that the government must promote womens access to land ownership, guaranteeing ownership through access to title
deeds. The Agrarian Act of 2002 protects the rights of women to own and manage land. Overall, CLADEM Paraguay, a
womens non-governmental organisation, reported in 2004 that women make up only 9 percent of land owners and own only 8
percent of the land surface. Women and men have exactly the same rights in relation to access to property other than land.
Rural women in Paraguay play an important role in the management of natural resources. This role and its links to biodiversity
management remain to be more specifically analysed. Previous biodiversity planning processes have not taken gender issues
more specifically into consideration. This will be corrected in the current round.
The project coordination team will ensure that that gender considerations become an integral part of the updated NBSAP. COP
guidance will be followed.8 More specifically two pieces of guidance are worth mentioning: (i) COP Decision 1X/24 on the
approval and endorsement of the CBD Gender plan of Action; and (ii) COP Decision X/19, which amongst other matters invited
Parties to consider gender as a core cross-cutting issue in the implementation of biodiversity-related activities.
During the project inception the mandatory UNDP gender marker will be applied. This requires that each project in UNDP's
ATLAS system be rated for gender relevance. This will for example include a brief analysis of how the project plans to achieve
its environmental objective by addressing the differences in the roles and needs of women and men.
Furthermore, gender marking implies the production of the following data by the project's year 2 and by its end:
- Total number of full-time project staff that are women
- Total number of full-time project staff that are men
- Total number of Project Board members that are women
- Total number of project Board members that are men
- The number jobs created by the project that are held by women
- The number jobs created by the project that are held by men
D. DESCRIBE, IF POSSIBLE, THE EXPECTED COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROJECT:

The project will use a tried and tested successful method based on cross-sectorial consultations to plan for BD conservation. This
method has been used by UNDP and UNEP in other countries for NBSAP preparation, and was found to be cost effective and far
superior to having various sectors develop isolated plans.
The cost-effectiveness of the proposed activities will further be ensured by combining government internal, national and
international expertise in implementing similar projects. GEF funding of consultation costs will be kept to a minimum, as
government can finance much of it from existing resources. The same applies to the national contribution to EA working groups.

See e.g. www.cbd.int/doc/nbsap/nbsapcbw-pac-02/nbsap-nadi-scbd-gender.pdf and
www.cbd.int/doc/publications/cbd-ts-49-en.pdf.
The government of Paraguay wishes the work on the new NBSAP to be transformational from a biodiversity planning point of
view, in particular with respect to the mainstreaming and ecosystem valuation aspects. Hence, the GEFs financing of specialized
consultants and knowledge / capacity building within the framework of this project is essential to its success, to the extent that it
finances the costs of going beyond what government would be able to do without foreign assistance. The GEF funding to the
project will focus in overcoming this specific barrier. UNDP is well positioned to assist Paraguay source the necessary expertise
for this EA project in a cost-effective manner.
The project adopts the least-cost means of achieving the projects objectives and follows the activity norms and cost benchmarks
defined by GEF guidelines. It will be built upon the strong foundation of the previous developed NBSAP, Capacity Assessments
and National Reports.

Common Sections to all four TORs
(1) Summary
Paraguay is in the process of implementing a GEF biodiversity planning project whose objective is to integrate
the countrys obligations under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) into its national development and
sectoral planning frameworks through a renewed and participative biodiversity planning and strategizing
process, in a manner that is in line with the global guidance contained in the CBDs Strategic Plan for 2011-
2020.
The following key outcomes are sought as part of the project, each representing one Component of the project:
1) A participative stocktaking exercise on biodiversity planning takes place and national biodiversity targets are
developed in response to the global Aichi Targets
2) Paraguays National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) is revised/updated and it fully integrates
new aspects of the CBD strategic plan, as well as national priorities. Among other issues it will include
mainstreaming biodiversity into development policies, plans and practices and into sectorial plans and
strategies. Mainstreaming has been defined as the internalization of biodiversity conservation goals into
economic and development sectors, policies and programs, such that they become an integral part of their
functioning of these sectors. Among the priority sectors and development areas / topics identified are:
Main economic sectors (agriculture and large scale developments);
Strategic areas (marine and coastal area, and the National Protected Areas System); and
Strategic crosscutting themes (invasive alien species, land use planning and management, financing
biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, poverty alleviation and rural development and livelihoods, and
climate change).
3) National frameworks for NBSAP implementation (including resource mobilization, institutional framework,
among others). Convention reporting and exchange mechanisms, including the Clearing House Mechanism
(CHM) of the CBD, are established and strengthened
The ultimate goal of the project is to build national capacity within the topic of biodiversity planning. In order to do
this, the technical team of SEAM will be strengthened with expertise providing knowledge and capacity building
services to the institution.
Hence, a national Request for Proposals is being launched in view of having services rendered by specialized
consultants within the following areas of expertise:
[Areas of expertise are specific to each consultancy]
(5) Duty station:
- Home based, for the completion of certain reports
(6) Requirements to the documents

Draft and final documents should be submitted in Spanish in MS Word (2007 and later). Used font: Arial,
size: 12;
Presentational documents should be prepared in Power Point.
May be complemented when composing the final documentation for the Request for Quotes
(7) Responsability

Specific Sections for each of the four TORs (to be further developed/improved during the project
implementation)
[Annex E-1]
OUTPUT-BASED CONSULTANCY 1:
Study on Economics and Financial Mechanism for Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use
Provide knowledge and capacity building services to the government of Paraguay, as well as other key
stakeholders in the economic and non economic values of biodiversity and ecosystem goods and services; as
well as in the implementation of financial mechanism for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use.
(4) Scope of Work
As part of the process of developing specific inputs to Paraguays NBSAP, this Consultancy will be a main input
for developing Output 1 given that by assessing economic and non-economic values of biodiversity and
ecosystem services, as well as the cost of unsustainable use, concrete data can be given to justify the need of
developing a national biodiversity strategy as well as prioritizing issues, aiming to mainstreaming biodiversity
priority issues into sectoral and other areas.
A second part of the consultancy will be related with the development of a roadmap to implement financial
mechanism for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in line with the national strategy.
Although the contribution of the consultant to the final product is expected to be central, the consultant will not
work alone. It is expected the consultant to work in closely collaboration with the Project Operative Team.

biodiversity, including: the valuation of protected areas, any other national ecosystem services studies that
have been conducted (e.g., water, carbon), and existing global and regional maps and overlays of key
ecosystem services.
o Identify the implications of selected services for different stakeholder groups within the country, including those
who benefit from, and pay for, the maintenance of these ecosystem services, and those that degrade
ecosystems through unsustainable use. This analysis should include both market and non-market values.
o Use the results of this assessment to recommend thematic research concerning the valuation of biodiversity;
Financial mechanism for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use
