National Capacity Development for Implementing Rio Conventions through Environmental Governance Project

The National Capacity Development for Implementing Rio Conventions through Environmental Governance (Rio) Project is being implemented by the Department of Environment (DoE) under the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) with support from Global Environment Facility (GEF) as implementing partner and project management support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Bangladesh is a party of the Rio Convention namely UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD), UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The Rio project aims to enhance the capacity of relevant policy and institutional stakeholders to enable compliance with the three Rio Conventions and other Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs). Specifically, this will be carried out by targeted capacity building programmes for government staff at the local, regional and national levels on the provisions of Rio Convention as these apply to their roles and responsibilities to implement associated development interventions and policies. The expected outcome of the project ensures the identified best practices and innovative approaches meeting and sustaining Rio Conventions are available and accessible for implementation through national development policies and programmes.
