The NBSAP has identified a total of 101 priority actions under 32 strategic elements that are categorized under 10 headings (themes). Despite lack of coordination among sector institutions the achievement registered in implementing the NBSAP is considerable. Except one or two thematic areas all have been addressed partly or fully. To integrate biodiversity conservation and sustainable use into relevant sectoral and crosssectoral plans, programs and policies, the GoSE has taken several measures which enhance mainstreaming of biodiversity issues into agriculture, tourism, mine, water, marine, transport and education. The progress made towards implementing priority actions set in the NBSAP is satisfactory and that is mainly due to the integration of biodiversity and NBSAP priority areas into different sectors programs and plans. Despite these progresses there are still many gaps that need be addressed, including: • Low level of communication and follow up of the implementation of NBSAP, • Limitation on human and institutional capacity: despite the effort made by the GoSE, • Shortage of fund, and • Lack of coordination between government institutions, x
CHAPTER I. OVERVIEW OF BIODIVERSITY STATUS, TREND AND THREATS 1.1 Background 1.1.1 Introduction Under the <strong>Convention</strong> of Biological Diversity, Eritrea like other countries, has committed itself to a number of specific obligations and opportunities for enhancement of biological diversity conservation and sustainable use within Eritrea. Amongst the specific obligations are: • preparation of regular reports on measures taken for the implementation of provisions of the <strong>Convention</strong> (Article 26); • identification of components of biological diversity important for its conservation and sustainable use (Article 7) • Preparation of a national biodiversity strategy and action plan (Article 6). These three obligations form part of a long-term commitment to activities, which conserve and promote sustainable use of biodiversity resources within member countries. Eritrea submitted its First to Third National Reports on Implementation of Article 6 of the <strong>Convention</strong> of Biological Diversity (CBD) in December 1997, following a number of national workshops to discuss preparation of the reports. These reports summarised the overall objectives of Eritrea's evolving biodiversity policy, and reviewed the work being undertaken as part of implementation. They also provided brief overviews of current knowledge of Eritrea's biodiversity, the threats to this biodiversity, and measures taken to promote its conservation and sustainable use (DoE, 1997). However, previous National Reports were prepared using pre-prepared forms, whereas the Fourth National Report requires country parties a full narrative report that incorporates 4 chapters and 4 appendices namely: Chapter-1 Chapter-2 Chapter-3 Chapter-4 Overview of Biodiversity Status, Trend and Threats Current Status of National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan Sectoral and Cross-Sectoral Integration or Mainstreaming of Biodiversity Consideration Conclusion: Progress towards the 2010 Target and Implementation of the Strategic Plan Appendix I – Information Concerning Reporting Party and Preparation of National Report Appendix II - Further Sources of Information 1
