| Overview : Through the BIOFIN programme, a baseline assessment has been conducted across Management Authorities for current fees and permits with a fee setting framework developed. Fees can influence the behaviour of applicants and the relationship that applicants have with regulators. They are also directly linked to the revenue that government receives which can cover part of the costs of implementation biodiversity regulations. The next phase of the work under the finance solution aims to work with an Issuing Authority to revise and amend its permit processing fees for the Threatened or Protected Species Regulations in line with the fee setting framework produced in 2022. The output will be an amended permit processing fee for the Threatened or Protected Species Regulations for permits issued in terms of NEMBA. (Detailed background can be found in the Terms of references). N.B - CLOSING DATE HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE 17TH JUNE 2022. |
