"Participative Integrated Ecosystems Service Management Plans for Bakassi Post Conflict Ecosystems” PINESMAP-BPCE FUNDING: Global Environment Facility (GEF) 

The Global Environment Facility has approved the project entitled "Participative Integrated Ecosystems Service Management Plan for Bakassi Post Conflict Ecosystem” PINESMAP-BPCE in Ndian division of the South-West region of Cameroon for the next four (4) years and the project aims at Conserving and sustainable use and improved management of Bakassi ecosystems through integrated ecosystems management plans and ecosystems valuation. 

The project will be implemented under the supervision of the UN-Environment (former UNEP) and in close collaboration with key government institutions, co-financier, civil society organizations, community-based organizations and the private sector. This project has benefited a co funding from GEF to the tune of US $ 2,652,968 and an overall co-financing to a total amount US $12,850,000. This funding will seek to ensure biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and improved management of Bakassi ecosystems through integrated ecosystem management plans including ecosystem valuation. 

This process will contribute to improved efficiency in the management of protected area systems, integration of biodiversity conservation in the various land-use options, including agriculture, mining, forestry, production and promote an integrated approach to the management at the level of the landscape, through the development and implementation of an interactive land use plan. This project will equally help to strengthen or develop a supportive policy in environment and knowledge creation for the implementation of the interactive land use plan and to manage changes in ecosystems that could result from immediate and ultimate causes. 

These objectives will be achieved through the following three components :

Component 1 : Institutional and stakeholder capacity building to be able to engage in the  development and implementation of the IESMP;

Component 2 : Participative and inclusive development and implementation of IESMP;

Component 3 : Knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation.
