UNDP Project Document Government of Malaysia United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility “Conserving Marine Biodiversity through Enhanced Marine Park Management and Inclusive Sustainable Island Development” Being one of the megadiverse countries, Malaysia is home to an extensive network of coral reefs and globally significant marine biodiversity. Malaysia has established a system of marine parks, which aims to protect and manage the marine biodiversity in the waters surrounding 40 islands. In spite of their protected status and current management efforts, there are several threats of diverse origin that affect the marine biodiversity of Malaysia. Declining fish stocks and the exploitation of breeding grounds; loss of habitat for marine life and destruction of coral reefs as well as habitat degradation and the degradation of water quality are the principle threats. These have been identified to derive from the federal-state split in jurisdiction over the marine park islands and surrounding water bodies; sector-based policy-making and planning with regard to marine park islands and from a low level of awareness across all sectors and stakeholders. In order to achieve the overall goal of enhanced marine park management and inclusive sustainable island development, the project has therefore identified the following objectives, designed to tackle the abovementioned root causes for the threats to marine biodiversity in the Malaysian marine parks: I. To widen the existing development planning process in order to support marine ecosystem management as well as sustainable tourism through stakeholder involvement. II. To strengthen the capacity of the marine parks management system in Peninsular Malaysia and to ensure effective enforcement of marine park regulations at three project sites. III. To enable an influential advocacy framework for the conservation of marine biodiversity supported by a raised level of awareness of the importance and benefits of marine biodiversity. 1 Table of Contents SECTION I : Elaboration of the Narrative ............................................................................................................... 5 PART I: Situation Analysis ....................................................................................................................................... 5 Context and Global Significance.......................................................................................................................... 5 Threats, Root Causes and Barriers Analysis ........................................................................................................ 5 Institutional, Sectoral and Policy Context ............................................................................................................ 6 Stakeholder Analysis ............................................................................................................................................ 7 Baseline Analysis ................................................................................................................................................. 7 PART II : Strategy..................................................................................................................................................... 8 Project Rationale and Policy Conformity ............................................................................................................. 8 Project Goal, Objective, Outcomes and Outputs/Activities ................................................................................. 9 Project Indicators, Risks and Assumptions ........................................................................................................ 11 Expected global, national and local benefits ...................................................................................................... 11 Country Ownership : Country Eligibility and Country Drivenness ................................................................... 12 Sustainability ...................................................................................................................................................... 13 Replicability ....................................................................................................................................................... 14 PART III : Management Arrangements .................................................................................................................. 14 National Project Director ................................................................................................................................... 15 Project Management Unit .................................................................................................................................. 15 Chief Technical Advisor .................................................................................................................................... 15 National Steering Committee ............................................................................................................................. 15 Project Review Committee ................................................................................................................................ 15 Other suggested monitoring modalities .............................................................................................................. 15 National Policy Linkages ................................................................................................................................... 16 Collaborative Arrangements .............................................................................................................................. 16 Other Arrangements ........................................................................................................................................... 17 PART IV : Monitoring and Evaluation Plan and Budget ........................................................................................ 18 1.
