Notification 2023-098

Dear Madam/Sir, Reference is made to notifications 2023-085 and 2023-086, issued on 15 August 2023, with regard to the following two surveys being conducted by the interim Global Coordination Unit of the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership: 1. Stakeholder Mapping Survey (link) 2. Rapid Capacity Needs Assessment Survey (link) I would like to thank Parties and stakeholders that have already completed and submitted the surveys. Please note that, in order to allow high survey participation, the deadline to complete the surveys has been extended to 15 November 2023. I therefore encourage those that have not yet done so, to complete the surveys before the new deadline. Should you require any further information or assistance, please contact the NBSAP Accelerator Partnership interim Global Coordination Unit at info@nbsapaccelerator.org. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support to the work of the Convention and its Protocols. Please accept, Sir, Madam, the assurances of my highest consideration.
