Building the Capacity of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Caribbean Regional Committee to Improve Protected Area Governance and Policy in the Caribbean

Formally establish the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Caribbean Regional Committee and develop a strategic action plan for sustaining it. The grant supports the design of a process for monitoring and reporting on IUCN Caribbean members' biodiversity conservation projects, including the creation of an up-to-date database of activities underway in the region; identification of common, non-competing opportunities for the committee to pursue for sustainable funding; the formal registration of the committee in at least one Caribbean territory; and the development of a three-year strategic action plan.
