Procurement Notices

The Republic of the Philippines has been Party to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) since June 12, 1992. The Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, in 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, adopted the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 with the purpose of inspiring broad-based action in support of biodiversity over the next decade by all countries and stakeholders. The Strategic Plan is comprised of a shared vision, a mission, strategic goals and 20 ambitious yet achievable targets, collectively known as the Aichi Targets. The Strategic Plan serves as a flexible framework for the establishment of national and regional targets and it promotes the coherent and effective implementation of the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity.  The 20 Aichi Targets are grouped into 5 strategic goals with each goal addressing the different challenges facing biodiversity conservation.  As a signatory to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), parties are committed to prepare and implement their National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAP).  This is a significant contribution to the Philippines’ efforts towards implementing the CBD Strategic Plan 2011-2020 at the national level and integrating biodiversity conservation into national and local plans. The Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP) is the country’s roadmap to conserve its biodiversity and achieve its vision - “By 2028, biodiversity is restored and rehabilitated, valued, effectively managed and secured, maintaining ecosystem services to sustain healthy, resilient Filipino communities and delivering benefits to all.”

To mobilize resources for the implementation of the PBSAP, the Biodiversity Financing Initiative (BIOFIN) will contribute to closing the financing gap for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity by identifying, accessing, combining and sequencing sources of biodiversity funding to meet national needs. Increasing awareness on the PBSAP and biodiversity of the country is one of the components of BIOFIN and to be able to do so, communication, education and public awareness activities should be in place.
