The report is part of a National Capacity Self Assessment (NCSA) exercise that is being implemented through the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) with funding from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF). The Department of Environment and Conservation who is also the National GEF Focal Point is the lead agency responsible for the oversight and on-ground implementation of the exercise. Overall the NCSA has the task to assess the local capacity to meet not only the obligations under Climate Change Convention but also the UN Conventions on Bio-diversity and Land Degradation.
