Introduction
Article 22 of the Nagoya Protocol provides that Parties shall cooperate in the capacity-building, capacity development and strengthening of human resources and institutional capacities to effectively implement the Protocol in developing country Parties, including existing global, regional, subregional and national institutions and organizations. In this context, Parties should also facilitate the involvement of indigenous and local communities and relevant stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations and the private sector.
Article 22, paragraph 6, provides that information on capacity-building and development initiatives at national, regional, international levels should be provided to the ABS Clearing-House with a view of promoting synergy and coordination on capacity-building and development for ABS.
Having all information on capacity-building projects and initiatives available in one database can provide opportunities for coordination among actors involved in capacity-building in the same geographical area or covering similar thematic issues and to learn from each other experiences. It can also help to identify and address gaps and overlaps in the coverage of capacity-building initiatives.
