Study for biodiversity Integration in rural development programmes/EBioDiv-ICRAF - Study for Integration biodiversity in rural development programmes/EBioDiv Studie för biodiversitet integrering i landsbygdsinsatser Studien för Integration av biologisk mångfald i program för landsbygdsutveckling syftar till att fastställa en biologisk mångfaldsbaslinje och definierauppföljningsindikatorer för att främja effektiv förvaltning av biologisk mångfald i genomförandeområdet för projektet ProValAB2/Contribution 15249, detta genom stöd till projektledningsen vid Burkina Faso jordbruksministerium; så att den kan utföra uppföljning och utvärdering för att mäta framstegen i bevarandet och återställandet av biologisk mångfald The study aims to establish a biodiversity baseline and define monitoring indicators to promote effective management of biological diversity in the project ProValAB2/Contribution 15249 area through support to the project management unit of the ministry in charge of agriculture of Burkina Faso; in order to carry out their monitoring and evaluations to measure the progress made in the preservation and restoration of biodiversity. Objective of the intervention

The objective of the mission is to establish a biodiversity baseline and define monitoring indicators to promote effective management of biological diversity in the project ProValAB2 (Value-addition in Agriculture from small dams in Burkina Faso)/Contribution 15249 area through support to the project management unit of the ministry in charge of agriculture of Burkina Faso; in order to carry out their monitoring and evaluations to measure the progress made in the preservation and restoration of biodiversity.

Specifically, the study aims to:

Develop a detailed baseline of biodiversity and species habitats taking into account all components (genetic, specific, and ecosystem) to date; Assess biodiversity and the risk of its stability around contribution 15249// Value-addition in Agriculture from small dams in Burkina Faso (ProValAB 2) intervention sites; Identify the direct anthropogenic pressures and the specific riches at the level of contribution 15249 intervention sites; Identify relevant and favorable actions for the improvement of biodiversity in contribution 15249 intervention area; Make a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the flora and fauna of the intervention area; Establish the status of species (abundant, threatened, endangered); Propose monitoring-evaluation indicators for biodiversity and the habitats of species; Propose an action plan for the rapid implementation of urgent actions to improve the protection, conservation and restoration of biodiversity; Propose a model biodiversity monitoring-evaluation protocol integrating geo-spatial monitoring; Formulate relevant recommendations for better consideration of biodiversity.
