This guidance has been produced as part of the project ‘CONNECT: Mainstreaming biodiversity information into the heart of government decision-making’. It forms part of a series of publications currently being developed by the CONNECT project to help practitioners with mainstreaming, which will be made available at: www.connectbiodiversity.com.

 

The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) led the development of this guide, in collaboration with CONNECT partners. Country teams based at the Ghana National Biosafety Authority, the Mozambique Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development (MITADER) and Uganda National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) trialled an early version of the guide working closely with IIED. This guide is based largely on the implementation experiences in the three countries and valuable inputs from all country partners.
