United Nations Development Programme Country: Peru PROJECT DOCUMENT1 Project Title: Transforming Management of Protected Area/Landscape Complexes to Strengthen Ecosystem Resilience UNDAF Outcome(s): The State, with the participation of civil society, private sector, and academic and scientific institutions, will have designed, implemented and/or strengthened policies, programs, and plans, with a focus on environmental sustainability, for the sustainable management of natural resources and biodiversity conservation. UNDP Strategic Plan Primary Outcome: Growth is inclusive and sustainable, incorporating productive capacities that create employment and livelihoods for the poor and excluded. Expected CP Outcome(s): See UNDAF Outcome Expected CPAP Output(s): Management instruments designed and in early implementation that contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity at the local, regional and national scales. Executing Entity/Implementing Partner: National Protected Areas Service (SERNANP) Implementing Entity/Responsible Partners: UNDP Brief Description This project will transform the management of vulnerable ecosystems in Peru to alleviate the direct and indirect impacts of climate change (CC) on globally significant biodiversity and ecosystem functionality, through a three-pronged approach: development of management systems (monitoring and early warning systems, management decision making tools and sustainable financing) in order to optimize national readiness to address the implications of CC on ecosystems; expanding and strengthening PAs in landscapes that are particularly sensitive to CC, in order to protect refugia and corridors and build readiness to address specific CC impacts; and promoting sustainable land management in landscapes surrounding PAs in order to anticipate increased threats from current land uses for BD and ecosystem functions. This will reduce pressures on ecosystems and make them more resilient to expected CC impacts. 1 For UNDP supported GEF funded projects as this includes GEF-specific requirements 1 Total resources required: $59,704,112 Programme Period: 2014-2020 Total allocated resources (cash): $50,926,658 Atlas Award ID: 00081013 o GEF $8,991,434 UNDP $9,401,000 Project ID: 00090480 o o SERNANP $2,208,460 PIMS # 5152 o Regional Government of Madre de Dios:$9,300,000 Belgian Government: $11,691,884 Start date: 15th August 2014 o o COSUDE $2,333,880 End Date 14th August 2020 o German Government: $7,000,000 In-kind contributions: Management Arrangements NEX PAC Meeting Date TBD o SERNANP $8,777,454 Agreed by (Government): Date/Month/Year Agreed by (Executing Entity/Implementing Partner): Date/Month/Year Agreed by (UNDP): Date/Month/Year 2 Table of Contents List of abbreviations ................................................................................................................................... 5 SECTION I: ELABORATION OF THE NARRATIVE .................................................................... 7 PART I.
