As one of a series of resource mobilization workshops, it will enhance the capacity of participants to apply pertinent methodologies, frameworks and tools for identifying, assessing and reporting on existing biodiversity finance, in order to develop robust financial baselines and national finance plans for effective implementation of national biodiversity strategies and action plans; and to identify relevant biodiversity values and incorporate them in policy planning.
