How to submit

What is an Expression of Interest?

An Expression of Interest is a project submission that provides an overview of a proposed protected area project. Expressions of Interest are submitted using the CBD LifeWeb Application form, available for download below. Submissions which follow the required guidelines (see below) are profiled on the CBD LifeWeb website.

Please see our Frequently Asked Question section for more information.

Eligibility

Developing countries and countries with economies in transition are invited to submit Expressions of Interest to invite financial support from development cooperation partners on a voluntary basis using existing mechansisms.


All Expressions of Interest submitted to the LifeWeb clearing house must:

  1. Focus on initiatives that will advance implementation of the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas.

  2. Be consistent with priorities defined in national protected areas planning in accordance with the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas.

  3. Be submitted by the national CBD-National Focal Points or Focal Points for the Programme of Work on Protected Areas.

  4. National-scale submissions must be endorsed in writing by the Ministry of Environment’s authority responsible for coordinating international cooperation. We also encourage all Expressions of Interest to be endorsed by national authorities for coordinating international cooperation, as appropriate.
