Objectives & outputs
Due to the complexity of the programme, the outputs are presented first at the regional level and then at generic/national/demonstration site level. A clearly defined programme objective and detailed outputs will ensure the programme is accountable for achieving its goal.
Development goal: The conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity in the wetlands of the Lower Mekong Basin.
Programme purpose: Strengthened capacity at regional, national and local levels for wetland biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in the Lower Mekong Basin.
Immediate objective indicators:
Regional level:
| • | Mekong inter-governmental institutions, such as the MRC, incorporating conservation and sustainable use of wetlands in their day-to-day operations |
| • | Regional non-government stakeholders contributing actively in an ongoing Regional Wetland Coordination Forum |
| • | Multilateral organisations operating in the Lower Mekong region, such as Asian Development Bank, World Bank using the wetland conservation and sustainable use principles, policies, and management tools developed by the programme for use in the Mekong basin | | • | Other countries in the Greater Mekong Sub-region taking due consideration of wetland issues in upstream developments |
National level
| • | Wetland institutions in each country such as National Mekong Committees, National Ramsar Committees, National Wetland Committees etc. functioning effectively to promote the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands | | • | Ministries and departments that have principal responsibility for wetlands and wetland resources incorporating conservation and sustainable use of wetlands in their day-to day operations | | • | Other line agencies and departments involved with infrastructure developments taking wetlands into account in their policies and planning | | • | Civil society organisations in each country contributing actively to wetland policy and planning issues through ongoing national networks |
Local level
| • | Provincial level planning mechanisms taking wetlands into account used by provinces both inside and outside of the demonstration sites | | • | Local community based institutions using wetland resource management skills and tools developed by the programme, both inside and outside the demonstration sites |
