The objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ratified by Benin on 30 June 1994 are (a) the conservation of biological diversity, (2) the sustainable use of its components and (3) the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the exploitation of genetic resources, in particular through satisfactory access to genetic resources and appropriate transfer of relevant techniques, taking into account all rights to these resources and techniques. Although efforts have been made, the evaluation of the biodiversity strategy of 2002-2010 (SPANB 2002-10) of Benin made it possible to understand that the objectives are far from being achieved, not only because of a lack of resources or initiatives but in particular because of the lack of synergy of actions and awareness raising. Indeed, the implementation of the 2002-10 NASPB has made it possible to make some progress towards achieving the Aichi objectives, even though serious threats call for appropriate actions to gradually eradicate them. One of the major consequences of these shortcomings and weak points is that certain categories of actors develop predatory behavior without worries. Management/governance, coordination of interventions, communication around the SPANB and the appropriation of achievements by sustainable structures have not been satisfactory. In particular, the absence of ownership of achievements by sustainable structures has limited their sustainability and replicability in time and space. In accordance with the requirements of the Convention, Benin still has a national strategy document for 2020, which should be implemented in a synergistic and coordinated manner in order to meet the vision and guiding principles contained in it. Indeed, the national strategy, based on the shortcomings of the former strategy, is based on the following vision: “By 2020, decentralized local authorities, the State and civil society are more involved in concrete and concerted actions to know, enhance, promote, conserve and restore biological diversity for the socio-economic development and well-being of the populations of Benin”. Therefore, seven guiding principles underpin this strategy and highlight the need for more synergistic actions. It is about (i) the adherence of all actors to the common vision of Biological Diversity; (ii) 4the real commitment and involvement of all actors in a dynamic and synergistic planning/programming process; (iii) the systematic consideration of the NASPB as a tool for integrating Biodiversity into national and local development programmes; (iv) coherence between the NBSAP and national and sectoral strategies; (v) the systematic consideration of the NBSAP as a tool for integrating Biodiversity into national and local development programmes; (iv) coherence between the NBSAP and national and sectoral strategies; (v)) national and regional synergy relating to the Conventions on Biological Diversity and other Agreements multilateral agreements on the environment; (vi) the promotion of active public-private partnerships around biodiversity issues and (vii) the consideration of the ecosystem approach in the implementation of actions.In view of this vision and the guiding principles, it is clear that it is essential to share the content of the national strategy with all actors involved at the state, private, civil society and grassroots levels in order to ensure that policies, programs, projects and actions contribute to the achievement set goals. While it is true that this document was developed in a participatory manner at the national level, it is also true that only representatives of the stakeholders contributed to it, hence the need to proceed with its internalization for greater impacts. Once internalization is well done, we can hope that actions will be carried out with more synergy and coordination for more impacts. These impacts must be able to be measured through indicators already included in the strategy document. As a prelude to the development of this strategy document, a project financed by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences identified and collected reference data for indicators in order to measure the achievement of Aichi Objective 1. But this study needs to be updated to have a more global vision with few indicators. The present project aims to fill these two shortcomings. The present report summarizes the activities carried out.
