Annex III
GUIDELINES FOR THE REVIEW OF THE PROGRAMMES OF WORK OF THE CONVENTION
A. Purpose of the review
The primary aim of the review is to determine progress made to advance the
objectives of the Convention within its thematic areas. The review should include
information from Parties on:
(a) Progress made on implementation of the programme of work;
(b) Barriers to implementation of the programme of work;
(c) Priorities for capacity-building to address the barriers;
(d) The contribution the programme of work has provided to Parties in implementing
the Convention; and
(e) The contribution of the programme of work in reducing the rate of biodiversity
loss.
The review process might result in suggestions for modification of existing
programmes of work. Modification of programmes of work should only occur where
a significant gap has been identified and filling this gap would provide valuable
further guidance to Parties, other Governments and organizations supporting
implementation of the Convention.
B. Process for reviewing and, as necessary, revising the programmes of work
1. Review of the current programme of work
The review of implementation of a programme of work could include:
1. A review of implementation against the elements of the programme of
work itself (objectives, activities, etc). The review should ascertain:
(a) Whether, and to what degree, the implementation of activities has contributed
to meeting the objectives of the Convention and provisional goals and targets
of the framework for evaluating implementation of the three objectives of the
Convention and progress towards the 2010 target;
(b) Identification of barriers to effective implementation of the Convention
within the thematic area, and capacity building priorities to address the barriers;
(c) Whether, and to what degree, operational objectives and all or selected
priority activities of the programme of work at the national, regional and
global level were implemented by Parties and others, and the extent to which
this was facilitated by the Convention Secretariat and other partners;
(d) Whether, and to what degree, the Convention Secretariat and other partners
have facilitated the mobilization of the necessary financial resources with
respect to the thematic areas. This would involve analysing the trends in funding
for the thematic area, as well as actions taken by the financial mechanism
and other multilateral and bilateral donors in response to the guidance of
the Conference of the Parties regarding the programme of work;
(e) Whether, and to what degree, the implementation of activities has contributed
to meeting the goals and objectives of the programme of work;
2. An assessment of the adequacy of the programme of work to address major
challenges. The review should assess the current and future effectiveness
of the programme of work in the context of the Millennium Development Goals
and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable
Development. The goals, objectives and activities of the programme of work
should be assessed against the status and trends in biodiversity, current
and projected major threats (including threats primarily associated with
other biomes), new scientific knowledge and other emerging issues, to determine
whether these remain adequate for reducing rates of biodiversity loss, promoting
sustainable use, and contributing to the fair and equitable sharing of benefits
arising out of the utilization of genetic resources.
3. Revision and updating of the programme of work
The programme of work should only be revised and updated if the need to do
so is identified through the review process outlined in section 1 above. Revisions
of programmes of work should only be undertaken where a significant gap is
identified and addressing this gap would provide essential further guidance
to Parties, other Governments and relevant organizations to achieve the objectives
of the Convention with regard to its thematic areas. Steps to follow when revising
and updating the programme of work are:
1. Define goals and objectives according to needs, in light of status and
trends in biodiversity, and against current and projected major threats, new
scientific knowledge and other emerging issues, in order to contribute to the
achievement of the three objectives of the Convention;
2. Integrate the vision, mission and provisional framework of goals and targets
as outlined in annex III to decision VII/30 into the programme of work
and, where applicable, the goals and objectives of the Strategic Plan;
3. Assess activities:
(a) Include activities required to address needs, in light of: (i) status
and trends in biodiversity, current and projected major threats to biodiversity
and new scientific knowledge, obstacles to sustainable use and to the fair
and equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic
resources, and the experience of the previous version of the programme of
work; and (ii) results of a gap analysis taking into account all relevant
activities including those being undertaken within the framework of other
conventions, and by organizations and initiatives that contribute to the
objectives of the programme of work (the gap analysis would also help to
identify opportunities for collaboration, as well as areas where additional
activities would add the most value);
(b) Acknowledge activities being undertaken by other conventions, organizations
and initiatives to meet the objectives of the programme of work and focus
on activities in the programme of work under the Convention on Biological
Diversity that fill gaps and provide added-value;
(c) Consider the financial implications of activities according to their
likely effectiveness and impacts, and the capacity of Parties and partners
to implement them.
4. Consider measures to provide practical support, including financial and
technical support, for national and regional implementation.
C. Information, tools and mechanisms to support the review
and revision of the programmes of work
1. Types and sources of information
1. Degree of implementation of the programme of work:
(a) Information from Parties (including national reports and thematic reports);
(b) Information from the 2010 monitoring exercise (global headline indicators);
(c) Additional information from relevant United Nations agencies, conventions,
international and regional organizations, indigenous and local communities,
and other partners.

international and regional organizations and processes, and other partners,
including in particular the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and other assessments
and scenarios work;
(d) Information from other international and national scientific bodies
such as science academies and science associations.
3. Financial resources for implementation:
(a) Information from Parties and other Governments on financial resources
and the financial mechanism with respect to programmes of work (including
national reports and thematic reports);
(b) Reports of, and information from, the Global Environment Facility and
other multilateral and bilateral donor agencies on thematic areas and cross-cutting
issues;
(c) Additional information from relevant United Nations agencies, conventions,
international and regional organizations, and other partners and stakeholders.
2. Supporting tools and mechanisms
1. Use of expert groups, regional workshops and consultations.
2. Development of a framework for the mobilization and coordinated use of
available assessment data from disparate sources.
3. Use of independent peer review, where appropriate.
4. Use of a rational timeline for review of implementation – one that takes
into account when national reports and other information will be available.
5. Share experiences and approaches through the clearing-house mechanism
and other mechanisms.
