South Africa’s National Biodiversity Framework, 2017-2022: draft

The draft of South Africa’s National Biodiversity Framework, 2017-2022 has been published for comment. "The NBF is a short to medium-term coordination tool that shows the alignment between the strategic objectives and outcomes identified in the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP v.2, 2015) and other key national strategies, frameworks and systems that currently guide the work of the biodiversity sector, and identifies mechanisms through which this work is coordinated. It also identifies a set of interventions or “acceleration measures” that can unlock or fast-track implementation of the NBSAP, and indicates the relative roles of the many agencies involved in implementing these activities."
