Mission Objective
The overall objective is to provide the Guinean Government, the National Integrated Management Agency of the MFD, the UNESCO Task Force, and Guinea's partners (particularly at the regional level) with a comprehensive territorial reference framework, based on the consolidation of current knowledge, lessons learned from the past, and oriented towards the future, enabling informed decisions for the sustainable development, management, and governance of the MFD within Guinean territory. This framework must meet the requirements for classification as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage site, and align with the objectives of sustainable management of transboundary basins, the SDGs, the Kunming-Montreal objectives, and the commitments of the Paris Agreement.
Specific Objectives:
Phase 1 - Capitalization of interventions and best practices, focused on the regions targeted by UNESCO classifications:
ā¢ Conduct an exhaustive mapping of stakeholders and past and ongoing interventions in the MFD (projects, programs), by sector, type, period, scale, and funder.
ā¢ Map physical/territorial interventions carried out, ongoing, or planned in current sectoral plans within the MFD, including active and inactive mining permits.
ā¢ Draw key lessons from programs and projects implemented in the MFD in the water, agriculture, livestock, forestry, protected areas, mining, energy, tourism, and environment sectors that can serve as a foundation for future planning.
ā¢ Identify transferable best practices and success factors for sustainable and coordinated management of the MFD, by formulating operational recommendations.
Phase 2 - Territorial Diagnosis (knowledge and data):
ā¢ Conduct a comprehensive biophysical, socio-economic, and climatic assessment of the MFD with detailed sectoral analyses to identify degradation factors and risks for sustainable natural resource management, based on the different agro-ecological zones and watershed areas targeted by UNESCO classifications and in line with the best practices identified in Phase 1.
ā¢ Establish a robust scientific baseline of natural resources (water, soil, biodiversity) and climate, with a focus on source areas and transboundary basins within Guinean territory.
ā¢ Produce an in-depth land diagnosis of the MFD, analyzing the coexistence of customary and modern law (success and failure factors), differentiated land uses, and conflicts over access to natural resources (in relation to the capacities and practices of the state and local authorities).
ā¢ Analyze the international and national legal framework applicable to the transboundary watersheds of the MFD, and its implications for the management of Guinean territory, focusing on factors explaining the success or failure of its application (adequacy with local contexts, implementation capacity...).
ā¢ Produce an inter-sectoral analysis of potential threats and pressures (mining, dams, agriculture, livestock, bushfires, erosion, demographics) on ecosystems.
ā¢ Value the natural capital of the MFD and quantify its ecosystem services, focusing on the landscapes targeted for...
