    Advancing the data-science-policy value chain through SANBI's regional engagement strategy
    (2018-06-21)
    The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) has previously coordinated several conservation projects in other African countries linked to data mobilisation and biodiversity assessments, but these have been largely disconnected and risk undermining long-term impact. Currently, SANBI is conducting three major projects across the continent: the African Biodiversity Challenge (Ghana, Malawi, Namibia and Rwanda), Mapping Biodiversity Priorities (Botswana, Ethiopia and Malawi), and a Biodiversity Assessment for Spatial Prioritisation in Africa (BASPA) (Cameroon, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya and Mozambique). These projects span components relating to the data-science-policy value chain and provide opportunity for strategic coordination and synergy to create a critical mass of capacity in partner institutions. Such strategic coordination also extends to collaborating with other programmes of work operating on the continent (such as those being conducted by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and United Nations – World Conservation Monitoring Centre). The ultimate goal is to create a continental community of practice through a network of strong science-policy hubs that can better cooperate in regional decision-making and global reporting through vehicles such as the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

    Biodiversity Assessment for Spatial Prioritization in Africa (BASPA)
    (2018-06-21) Bezeng Bezeng, Simeon; Marnewick, Daniel
    The African continent is home to high biodiversity, consisting of eight of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. However, many African countries have lagged behind in mobilising foundational biodiversity data for spatial prioritisation in comparison to countries in other continents. More so, even in countries where such data exist, there is still a huge divide between foundational biodiversity data availability and mainstreaming of such information into country policies, planning and decision-making processes. Therefore, the current project seeks to first, empower African countries to generate foundational biodiversity data through the red listing of species, ecosystems and the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). Second, through rigorous stakeholder engagements and training, make sure the data generated is mainstreamed into government decision making processes. Last, together with country focal person(s), raise the required funding to implement this project. To do this, first, we conducted an African wide analysis to determine countries with high diversity, taking into account species richness and endemism. Following this analysis, pilot countries in both the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) east and southern African, and west and central African regions were selected. Second, we evaluated project implementation success by testing two models – government versus NGO led models. Preliminary results of this analysis, project implementation models and the applications of the data generated at country level will be discussed in line with policy and decision making.
