Assessing regional capacity needs for wetland conservation and the way forward
Strengths and weakness in capacity for wetland/flyway conservation, and integrating this into conservation action to ensure the sustainability of initiatives on wetlands is important. Capacity building activities for partners are assessed using a framework called the Quality Assurance System, which measures partners’ performance against organisational and effectiveness indicators. The QAS also offers training tools on governance, strategic planning, project management and mainstreaming biodiversity, and how to work with governments effectively.
