(NISM) on the Implementation of the Global Plan of Action - World ...

The second stakeholder training-workshop was conducted on November 29-30 th , 2011 at CARDI.
This meeting aimed to train the Stakeholders on the use of the Khmer version (Khmer-<strong>NISM</strong>-GPA)
of the computer application to answer the questions and add data to common tables of the indicators
and reporting format for monitoring the GPA. The updated and revised “Common Tables” were
discussed among SHs, and the stakeholder’s version of the computer application of the Khmer-
<strong>NISM</strong>-GPA, with the information on the “Common Tables” was created for distribution to the
stakeholders. The establishment of the <strong>NISM</strong> for the Implementation of the GPA in the context of
the current project will have the following purposes:
Enhance the ability of the countries to assess the current status of PGR and monitor the GPA
implementation, including changes in the status of their PGR over time.
Establish a national mechanism for gathering and sharing information on GPA
implementation to enhance coordination of plans and activities on conservation and
sustainable utilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders at national and regional levels.
Increase understanding among stakeholders about the status of the PGR in their countries,
and build stronger partnerships among stakeholders.
Improving the ability of countries on decision-making on the conservation and sustainable
use of PGR, including priority setting and resources allocation.
Enhance the capability of countries to meet international reporting obligations (such as GPA
implementation, Second Report of the State of the World’s PGRFA, etc.) and to publicize
their activities internationally.
The expected outputs of the conducted workshop training were stated the following:
The importance and purpose of establishing the Khmer-<strong>NISM</strong>-GPA in the country and of
updating of the “Common Tables” as the baseline information before SHs to use the
computer application to the answer the questions are well understood.
SHs are fully committed to establishing the Khmer-<strong>NISM</strong>-GPA and trained on the use of the
computer application. Information and data for the “Common Tables” revised and updated.
SH CDs of the Khmer-<strong>NISM</strong>-GPA computer application created for the registered SHs,
with the information in the “Common Tables” updated for use by SHs to answer the
questions or add information to the common tables on specific activities that they are
involved, or make comments or suggestions for implementation of GPA in any areas they
wish.
Timelines for submission of data and information from the SHs to NFP developed and
agreed upon by creating the contract between NFP and SHs, including content, format and
timelines for data collection and reporting discussed and agreed, including the procedures
for the compilation and preparation of country reports.
During the training-workshop, the project’s technical working group presented guidance on
entering, editing and correcting data into the 9 common tables. Khmer-<strong>NISM</strong>-GPA software
including software setting, registering, putting in, exporting out data, correcting, deleting and
