Benefits. This project will enhance the capacity for implementation of a robust and transparent national legal, regulatory and institutional framework and the strong governance structure to manage an ABS regime to properly share, in a fair and equitable way, the benefits arising from the commercial and other uses of genetic resources in South Sudan. The strengthening of the ABS mechanism will contribute to the development of social inclusion and gender equality, foster clear and transparent provisions and strengthen the capacity for indigenous and local communities to benefit from the use of their traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources, thereby generating opportunities benefit sharing while reinforcing the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. The benefits shared will, no doubt, be applied in biodiversity conservation actions and benefits for indigenous peoples and local communities and traditional small farmers, taking into account their organizations and including consideration of gender dimensions. Since the project is gender-oriented and socially inclusive, all activities related directly with the end beneficiaries, such as awareness activities, trainings, ABS laws and guidelines, PIC and MAT, will be carried out taking gender equality and social inclusion principles into consideration.

Benefits. The project will provide benefits globally, nationally and locally. This project will enhance the capacity for implementation of a robust framework for forest management and biodiversity conservation in South Sudan. By strengthening South Sudan’s strategies, mechanisms, and institutions for forest management and biodiversity conservation at the national level, globally significant biodiversity and landscapes will be protected, and livelihoods strengthened. The strengthening of forest and biodiversity management will contribute to the development of social inclusion and gender equality, foster clear and transparent provisions and strengthen the capacity for local communities to benefit from their landscape and biodiversity, thereby generating opportunities for themselves. This will also have benefits to the local communities around the Imatong CFR, including those deriving livelihoods from forest, directly through production forestry (wood products), or indirectly through ecosystem services. Further benefits will accrue through replication of the approaches used at the project sites to other sites in the country. The approach used in the project as a whole will also provide lessons and opportunities for replication in other countries in Africa.
