Latin America and the Caribbean - Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System Project (GEF)
De Melo, Jaime | Winters, L. Alan
The main objective of the Institutional Capacity Building for Protected Areas Management and Sustainable Use Project (ICB-PAMSU) is to establish effective institutional capacity within the wildlife and tourism sectors for strategic planning, program development and implementation, and to promote long-term sustainability. A second important objective of the ICB-PAMSU project is to secure the vital natural resource base, particularly the Protected Areas estate and wildlife resources, during the period that the institutional capacity is being strengthened. The project components include: (a) strengthening the organizational structure, management systems and operational capacity of the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), and the managerial and technical capacity of staff at headquarters and field levels; (b) strengthening institutional capacity of other selected conservation-related institutions, complementing the role of UWA; (c) strengthening of the National Commission for Antiquities and Museums; (d) strengthening the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities and the Uganda Tourism Board; and (e) strengthening capacity for human resources development within the tourism sector, through a "Train the Trainer" program benefiting both public (Hotel Tourism and Training Institute) and private sector training institutions.
