The long-term strategic framework, further elaborated in document CBD/SBI/3/7/Add.1, outlines the expected high-level capacity results; provides a menu of guiding principles, key strategies and approaches for improving the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of capacity-building and development initiatives and programmes; and describes mechanisms to facilitate and support its implementation at the global, regional and country level. Overarching Guiding Principles Inclusive analysis of existing capacities and needs is essential to ensure effective capacity-building and development (CB&D) interventions.Country ownership and commitment should be cornerstones for CB&D actions.Strategic and integrated system-wide approaches to CB&D should be promoted.Interventions should be designed and implemented according to recognized good practice and lessons learned.Indigenous peoples and local communities, gender and youth perspectives should be fully integrated into biodiversity CB&D efforts taking into account the Gender Plan of Action.Monitoring and evaluation, and learning frameworks should be incorporated into CB&D strategies, plans and programmes from the start.
