Biodiversity Monitoring and Evaluation (BIOME)

Strengthening the capacity of African conservation practitioners to evaluate conservation approaches.

The Biodiversity Monitoring and Evaluation (BIOME) project supported African conservationists in the comparative analysis of biodiversity conservation projects across sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, increasing their capacity to identify, describe, and analyze biodiversity conservation methods in Africa and communicate these methods to project managers, policy-makers, and donors. A cross-project exchange was organized among twenty-two African project managers and eleven selected sites to field-test the application of the principles developed in the BAA project. The project was conducted from 1994 to 2000. Participating countries included Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Central African Republic, Mali, Uganda, Namibia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Madagascar.
