Introduction and Background to the Process Sample Clauses

Introduction and Background to the Process. This technical document is the result of a process initiated several years ago to investigate the options for developing a coastal and marine Trans-Boundary Conservation Area (TBCA) between the Republic of Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania. The geographic location of the area of interest in eastern Africa is shown in Figure 1 below. More recently, UNEP, through the Nairobi Convention Secretariat, has initiated a series of discussions between the protected area management agencies in the two countries to take this process forward. A first meeting of the ‘Core Group’ comprising key personnel from the two agencies as well as others (such as fisheries) and NGOs active in the area of interest, was held in Nairobi, Kenya in November 2014. At this meeting a way forward was agreed upon, and decisions made to enable the process to proceed. This included a decision to obtain the services of a consultant to assist with drafting a technical document that could be used to promote and justify the idea of a TBCA. The Western Indian Ocean Marine Science Association has since been appointed to prepare this technical paper. A second meeting of the Core Group was organised in Tanga, Tanzania from 27-29 March 2015, hosted by the Marine Parks and Reserves Unit of Tanzania. This gathering allowed several field sites in the area of interest on the Tanzanian side of the border to be visited, and for the group to engage with local communities. The meeting also served to endorse the Terms of Reference, work plan and timeframe for the development of this technical paper. The meeting also confirmed the composition of a team of experts from each country that were mandated to contribute to and review the technical paper to ensure that it ultimately receives support and endorsement by the authorities in both countries. A third meeting of the Core Group to visit sites on the Kenyan side of the border and to review the draft technical paper was held in Kwale from 20-24 May 2015. Thereafter, the paper was finalised for presentation during the technical meetings preceding the COP 8 of the Nairobi Convention in the second half of June. It is envisaged that the COP 8 will provide the opportunity for the two countries to consider the concept at the highest levels, and potentially provide endorsement for the process of establishing the TBCA to proceed. The two main agencies promoting this initiative are the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the Tanzania Marine Parks and Reserves Unit (MP...
