The Ecosystem Assessment Programme provides capacity support in biodiversity indicators and ecosystem assessments. It designs and runs capacity building workshops and produces accompanying guidance materials and on-line materials. This is conducted with national and regional partners, building on participant’s experience and facilitating learning between organisations. The National Biodiversity Indicators Portal website is an example of this work. Our capacity building work responds to identified needs, such as updating of NBSAPs and national reporting to Conventions such as the CBD and UNCCD.

The Ecosystem Assessment Programme also supports capacity development by providing a Secretariat role for the Biodiversity Indicators Partnership and the Sub-Global Assessment Network. In this way we facilitate collaborations between national and international agencies to build capacity for indicators and assessments.
