The GEF has approved a Project Preparation Grant (PPG) for Nigeria in order to produce a UNDP Project Document and a GEF CEO Endorsement Request (both using the appropriate templates) under the guidance of UNDP-GEF and working in close collaboration with key government officials, donors, NGOs, CBOs and the private sector.
\nThe project, budgeted for $3.6 million in GEF funding and $6.2 million 5,265,000 million in co-financing to be mobilized, will conserve globally important biodiversity in Nigeria by mainstreaming biodiversity management priorities into the Niger Delta oil and gas (O&G) sector development policies and operations. This process will contribute to averting threats and risks to biodiversity linked to O&G operations in priority Niger Delta ecosystems within a spatial area of 4,600,000 hectares. This will be achieved through the following three components:\u00a0
\n1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Governance framework for the mainstreaming of biodiversity conservation into the O&G sector in the Niger Delta
\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 O&G industry and community engagement in biodiversity management in the Niger Delta
\n3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Financial mechanisms for O&G sector support to biodiversity conservation
\nThe PPG process is to be implemented between May and November 2010 and will focus on the activities necessary for approving and finalizing the proposed project. The focal points for the project in government and the PPG team of consultants will work in collaboration with existing related initiatives to carry out the following activities:
