The Government of Niger has revised its Strategy and the action plan on biological diversity in order to better contribute to the reduction of poverty among the population and to reduce the loss of biological diversity, in particular through the improvement of its management. Through the new reference framework of its biodiversity policy, Niger has set itself the vision: “by 2035, to ensure the valorization of biodiversity, its conservation, its restoration and its sustainable use in order to contribute to the guarantee of all citizens a better and equitable life”. This vision aligns the SNPA/DB with the Objectives of the 2011-2020 Strategic Plan, known as the Aichi Targets.

Indeed, the success of the implementation of the SNPA/DB is in part a function of a monitoring and evaluation strategy based on the following guiding principles: Respect for the roles of the various structures; The appropriation of data by the actors concerned; The credibility or the regular production of quality data;
Also, in order to ensure effective monitoring of the implementation of the SNPA/DB, the CNEDD initiated this study with the assistance of of the United Nations Development Programme
