There are challenges, among others, related to managing the beneficiaries’ database, and monitoring and assessing the compliance with conservation commitments. For instance, ecosystems considerations do not feature in the current programmes implemented by Colombia’s ANSPE,19 while in the Philippines National Anti-Poverty Program 2011-2016 (NAPC, 2010), ecosystems are only briefly mentioned in relation to the reform and management of fisheries and aquatic resources. Across a selection of countries reviewed, NSDSs and green growth strategies tend to mainstream biodiversity priorities in a relatively more formalised and advanced manner than PRSPs.
