SPA/RAC is launching a call for consultancy to develop a Post-2020 National Strategy for Marine and Coastal Protected Areas (MCPAs) and Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in Libya.

As the current national strategy on MCPAs in Libya is not aligned with new global targets, there is a clear need to update it to adapt with the current challenges. This includes aligning with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the Barcelona Convention Post-2020 SAPBIO and the Post-2020 MCPAs & OECMs strategy, as well as supporting the capacity building needed for countries to acheive their global targets by 2030.

This initiative is supported by the GEF-funded MedProgramme Child Project 3.1 “Management Support and Expansion of Marine Protected Areas in Libya”.
