Enabling Activities: Revision of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs) and the Fifth National Reports
During the first two years of GEF-5, 108 countries received funds to revise their NBSAP and produce their Fifth National Report.
During the last two years of GEF-5 and covering this reporting period, 29 additional countries received funds to revise their NBSAP and produce their Fifth National Report receiving $5,338,557 from the GEF which leveraged $7,797,421 in cofinancing.
Therefore, of the 145 GEF eligible countries, 137 (94%) have accessed funds set-aside in GEF-5 for Biodiversity Enabling Activities (49 through UNDP, 80 through UNEP, one through FAO, one through IADB, and six via Direct Access). Most of these projects have completion dates set before October 2014. Nine (6%) of GEF-eligible countries have not yet utilized the GEF-5 BD-EA funding window, two of whom have chosen to revise their NBSAP with their own or other funds, meaning that GEF has funded 96% of the potential pool of GEF eligible countries.
