Regional Dialogue on Biodiversity Monitoring and Reporting for Francophone African Countries
3–5 September 2025 | Yaoundé, Cameroon
The Regional Dialogue on Biodiversity Monitoring and Reporting for Francophone African Countries will take place in Yaoundé, co-organized by UNEP, the CBD Secretariat, COMIFAC, and IFDD, with the support of the Government of Cameroon. The event will gather decision-makers, experts, and partners to accelerate implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and prepare for the Seventh National Reports.
Discussions will cover the revision of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), development of monitoring systems and indicators, ecosystem restoration, and access to multilateral funding. The Dialogue will also highlight the role of regional technical and scientific cooperation centers in supporting national reporting, capacity-building, and knowledge sharing across Africa.
The NBSAP Accelerator Partnership is a country-led initiative to accelerate the implementation of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), raise their political profile, and drive collective action for nature. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety, and Consumer Protection (BMUV) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), through the global project “GBF Implementation,” implemented by GIZ. Its work is facilitated by a Global Coordination Unit (GCU) hosted by UNEP, UNDP and the Secretariat of the CBD.
