1. Introduction This document presents the first Strategic Plan for the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement, based on a draft prepared by Gwen van Boven, SPAN Consultants. The Strategic Plan aims at providing the context for implementation of the Agreement, putting forward a medium-term perspective, by setting the overall goal, the objectives and targets for a period of nine years. AEWA aims to contribute to global biodiversity conservation by furthering migratory waterbird conservation at flyway level. As such, the Strategic Plan is intended to provide coherent and strategic guidance to the Contracting Parties to AEWA and other stakeholders in their endeavours to act effectively both nationally and regionally whilst cooperating internationally along the flyways. The Strategic Plan will further provide guidance to the AEWA governing bodies (the Meeting of the Parties, the Standing Committee and the Technical Committee) and to the Secretariat. 2. Background At the 8th Conference of Parties in Nairobi in November 2005, the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) presented a Strategic Plan for 2006-2011. This plan sets the role of CMS and the challenges it faces; it identifies a vision and goal and formulates four objectives to achieve this goal. As an operational guide to Convention implementation, the Strategic Plan then takes the form of a Logical Framework in which activities, including targets and milestones, are established. In chapter 5.3 of its Strategic Plan, the CMS encourages all daughter instruments, amongst others, “... to develop their own strategic or implementation plans linked, as far as possible, to the Convention’s Strategic Plan through a system of cascading logical frameworks, which shows how their work contributes to the attainment of CMS objectives and targets”. 3. AEWA The African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) is a stand-alone Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEA) which was developed in the framework of CMS1 and concluded on 16 June 1995 in the Hague, the Netherlands. AEWA is the main tool to implement CMS in the African-Eurasian region with regard to waterbirds. This is the largest legal flyway conservation instrument established globally so far (Figure 1). The Agreement has developed rapidly since it entered into force in 1999. The call for strategic guidance and priority setting has been growing equally strongly with the growth of the number of Parties, activities and implementation priorities. In line with this call, at the third session of the Meeting of the Parties (MOP) in Dakar in 2005, the Contracting Parties decided to develop a Strategic Plan for AEWA, as laid down in Resolution 3.9, which is aimed at providing AEWA with the operational instrument to the Agreement that strategically and practically fits the AEWA implementation in the coming years. As mentioned above, the basis and starting point for the AEWA Strategic Plan is the CMS Strategic Plan, which it supplements. It will elaborate on the CMS Strategic Plan, and will provide specific detail on the implementation of waterbird conservation along the African-Eurasian Flyways. Cooperation with the CMS will be intrinsic to this implementation at all times.

1 AEWA was developed in accordance with Article IV of CMS. AEWA constitutes part of the CMS family of international agreements and is a separate independently-functioning MEA.

4. Approach Many of the CMS Parties, which have been involved in drafting the CMS Strategic Plan, are also Contracting Parties to AEWA. During that process, considerable strategic thinking was undertaken, which also fits the AEWA Strategic Plan. It is therefore expected that the Parties will support the development of a Strategic Plan for AEWA along similar lines to the CMS Strategic Plan, in terms of format. In addition, the AEWA Strategic Plan formulates the Agreement’s specific objectives and targets to reflect AEWA’s distinct identity and role.

Figure 1. Geographical scope of AEWA (Contracting Parties as of August 2008)

5. Duration This Strategic Plan was developed for and adopted by MOP4 in 2008. It is valid for a period of nine years, from 2009 – 2017. In 2017, a new Strategic Plan will be prepared for consideration by the parties at MOP7. This Strategic Plan could be reviewed and amended at each MOP if deemed necessary (please see chapter 6.9. Evaluation & Review on page 10).

6. The AEWA Strategic Plan 2009-2017 6.1 Scope The AEWA Strategic Plan is intended to provide the coherent and strategic framework for implementation of the Agreement by its constituents: the Contracting Parties, its governing bodies (the Standing Committee and the Technical Committee), its Secretariat and the partners to the Agreement. It is structured along the format of a hierarchical logical framework. 6.2 Vision All countries along the African-Eurasian Flyways share viable waterbird populations, and people throughout the region understand, respect, facilitate and sustain the phenomenon of their migration. Waterbirds are a shared resource, and their conservation requires a shared responsibility towards sustainable management of the different species, their populations and their flyways. This long-term vision reflects the philosophy of AEWA that waterbird conservation and people should go hand in hand, thus contributing to the conservation of global biodiversity. 6.3 Goal To maintain or to restore migratory waterbird species and their populations at a favourable conservation status throughout their flyways. At the core of flyway conservation is collaboration and cooperation between stakeholders along these flyways, both within countries as well as internationally. AEWA facilitates this cooperation at all levels, stimulating Parties to contribute effectively to international conservation, for instance through improved national practices, international collaboration, and joint activities. 6.4 Structure The Action Plan of the Agreement (Annex 3), is organised along the following headings: A) Species Conservation, B) Habitat Conservation, C) Management of Human Activities, D) Research & Monitoring, E) Education & Information, and F) Implementation. These Action Plan headings form the basis for AEWA's objectives as defined in the Strategic Plan, as shown in Figure 2. The first three objectives refer to professional and technical competences combined within AEWA, and its role related to conservation interventions, sustainable use and knowledge development and management. The fourth and fifth objectives are directed towards AEWA’s facilitating role, aimed at improving awareness and understanding, as well as improving international cooperation and increasing capacity towards the Agreement’s functioning.

Figure 2. AEWA Action Plan headings versus Strategic Plan Objectives Within the Strategic Plan’s Logical Framework, the targets have been aligned to fit the National Reporting Format, so that progress on the implementation towards meeting these targets can be verified with the National Reports, which are included, where appropriate, in the Logical Framework Table as means of verification.. 6.5 Targets and Indicators To achieve each objective, a series of targets has been set. With the help of quantifiable indicators, the success of these targets can be measured at certain moments in time. The sources of these indicators have also been identified, and have been reflected in the table as ‘means of verification’.

6.6 Objectives The objectives read as follows (to once more reflect consistency with the Agreement text, the Action Plan (AP) headings indicated in Annex 3 (and in Figure 2) are indicated between brackets): 6.6.1 Objective 1 To undertake conservation measures so as to improve or maintain the conservation status of waterbird species and their populations (AP Headings: A, B, C) This objective concentrates on the core business of AEWA: ensuring a favorable conservation status of waterbird species and their populations. This will be achieved when the overall conservation status of waterbird species throughout the AEWA range improves. The desired result behind this objective is that by 2017, across the AEWA region, the number of waterbird species with a growing or stable population is larger than the number of waterbird species with a declining population. Five concrete targets have been formulated that will help achieve this objective:

1.1 Full legal protection is provided to all Column A species; 1.2 A comprehensive and coherent flyway network of protected and managed sites and other

adequately managed sites, of international and national importance for waterbirds is established and maintained, while taking into account the existing networks and climate change;

1.3 Environmental Impact Assessment & Strategic Environmental Assessments are used to reduce the impact of new developments on waterbird species and populations;

1.4 Single Species Action Plans (SSAPs) are developed and implemented for most threatened species listed in category 1 and categories 2 and 3 marked with an asterisk on column A of Table 1;

1.5 Waterbirds are considered thoroughly in the context of the delivery of National Action Plans on non-native species by other international fora, such as CBD, Bern Convention, and GISP.

6.6.2 Objective 2 To ensure that any use of waterbirds in the Agreement area is sustainable (AP Headings A, C)

Successfully tackling the issue of unsustainable use of waterbirds is a key prerequisite for achieving the goal of this strategic plan. The desired result under this objective is that by 2017, across the AEWA region, a number of unsustainable practices will be eliminated, while facilitating processes will be introduced and implemented. Five targets have been set to this effect:

2.1 The use of lead shot for hunting in wetlands is phased out in all Contracting Parties; 2.2 Internationally coordinated collection of harvest data is developed and implemented; 2.3 Measures to reduce, and, as far as possible, eliminate illegal taking of waterbirds, the use of

poison baits and non-selective methods of taking, are developed and implemented; 2.4 Best practice codes and standards, such as bird identification, are developed and promoted, in order to achieve proper enforcement of legally binding provisions; 2.5 Adaptive harvest management2 of quarry populations is ensured at international scale.

2 Adaptive Harvest Management is the periodic process of setting hunting regulations based on a system of population and habitat monitoring, harvest level recording, data analysis and defining regulatory options.

6.6.3 Objective 3 To increase knowledge about species and their populations, flyways and threats to them as a basis for conservation action (AP Headings: A, B, C, D) The availability of good scientific knowledge, as well as traditional, locally available knowledge, is a prerequisite to achieving AEWA’s overall goal. The desired result is that by 2017, or if possible earlier, sufficient knowledge is available and accessible on species and their populations, their flyways, threats to them and successful conservation measures. To facilitate further sharing, generation and improvement of knowledge, specially related to appropriate research and monitoring, the following five targets have been formulated:

3.1 Necessary resources are in place to support the international processes for gathering

monitoring data for status assessment on a long-term basis; 3.2 Capacity of national monitoring systems to assess the status of the waterbirds is established,

maintained and further developed; 3.3 Nationally responsible state agencies, academic and other wildlife related research

institutions are encouraged to establish research programmes to support implementation of waterbird conservation priorities;

3.4 Best practices, including, in particular, traditional knowledge for waterbird conservation programmes, are collated and incorporated;

3.5 Sharing and accessibility of relevant data and information are enhanced so as to underpin relevant conservation decision-making.

6.6.4 Objective 4 To improve Communication, Education and Public Awareness (CEPA) about migratory waterbird species, their flyways, their role in alleviating poverty, threats to them and the need for measures to conserve them and their habitats (AP Headings: E, F)

Within the past three years, the AEWA has developed a communication strategy that provides the framework for communication-related work of the Agreement. It is desired that targeted audiences, as specified in the AEWA Communication Strategy, are better informed about migratory waterbird species, their populations and flyways; are aware of threats to them and understand and support the need for their conservation. The three specific targets that have been formulated reflect the communication strategy’s intentions and aim to secure its implementation and updating as follows:

4.1 Support for the implementation of the Communication Strategy (CS) is secured; 4.2 The AEWA Communication Strategy is implemented; 4.3 Awareness and understanding of waterbird conservation issues in general, and, of AEWA in

particular, are increased at all levels within the Contracting Parties. 6.6.5 Objective 5 To improve the capacity of Range States and international cooperation and capacity towards the conservation of migratory waterbird species and their flyways (AP Headings: E, F) Cooperation – within the Contracting Parties, as well as between them internationally - is at the core of flyway conservation. There is a need to improve cooperation and increase AEWA’s capacity to do that



9

with the aim of achieving, notably through the strengthening of AEWA’s facilitation role and increasing its capacity, a more streamlined implementation of the Agreement at national level and better cooperation at the international level by 2017. The following eight specific targets have been designed to achieve results at all levels:

5.1 The membership of the Agreement is expanded; 5.2 Sufficient funding for the implementation of the SP is raised from different sources; 5.3 Cooperation with other MEAs and key partners is enhanced; 5.4 The Small Grants Fund (SGF)3 is activated; 5.5 The rate of submission of National Reports is increased; 5.6 Capacity of national staff to implement the Agreement is increased through proper training

mechanisms; 5.7 Appropriate national coordination mechanisms for implementation of AEWA linking to

national coordination mechanisms for other biodiversity MEAs are established; 5.8 AEWA is recognized by other biodiversity MEAs as an MEA whose effectiveness in

protecting waterbirds can be used as an indicator for sustaining biodiversity on a global level.

6.7 Operational principles (OP) Reflecting the interlinkages of AEWA, its sister agreements and its mother convention CMS and their common fundamental working philosophy, several cross-cutting issues have been identified, which, in the pursuit of implementing the Strategic Plan, will be adopted and applied as Operational Principles in all activities where appropriate: OP 1: The Strategic Plan is the guiding document for the implementation of the Agreement;

linking the Agreement Text and Action Plan with implementation. OP 2: To respect the general principles of the United Nations throughout all phases of

implementation. OP 3: To cooperate closely with relevant multilateral environmental agreements and key partners,

harmonizing initiatives wherever possible, in particular with CMS and its other agreements. OP 4: To foster awareness of the concept of sustainable use, and the positive role of migratory

waterbirds on livelihoods of communities along their flyways. OP 5: To increase the ability of all Parties, and, in particular, developing countries and countries

with economies in transition, to contribute to the implementation of the Strategic Plan. OP 6: To stimulate Parties to support developing countries and countries with economies in

transition to implement the Agreement. OP 7: To strive to attract matching funding for project activities. OP 8: To strive, at all times, to make the most efficient use of the limited available financial and

human resources. OP 9: To ensure the Strategic Plan contributes to the conservation of global diversity by aiming at

the conservation of migratory waterbirds in the African-Eurasian region. OP 10: To seize and promote opportunities for capacity building at all levels throughout the

Agreement area.

3 The 1st Session of the Meeting of the Parties to AEWA in its Resolution 1.7 decided on the establishment of an AEWA Conservation Small Grants Fund to facilitate the implementation of the Agreement similarly to the Ramsar Small Grants Fund for Wetland Conservation and Wise Use. At the time of MOP4 (September 2008), this Fund had not became operational; however it still represents a major potential for providing valuable resources to eligible countries to implement provisions of AEWA.


10


6.8 Implementation & Finances This Strategic Plan is aimed at optimising the implementation of the AEWA in a realistic way, and in line with the internally set Operational Principles as outlined above. Implementation can be ensured only when the appropriate means, both financial and in terms of human capacity, are made available at the level of the Secretariat, as well as in the Contracting Parties themselves and among the partners of the Agreement. In this respect, special reference is made to Objective 5 of this Strategic Plan. 6.9 Evaluation & Review Evaluation of performance, achievements and impact is intrinsically linked to coherent and strategic implementation of the Agreement, and therefore to its Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan may be reviewed by each MOP if deemed necessary, in order to reflect updates on progress made at target and indicator level. However, this Strategic Plan is meant to provide a long-term perspective on AEWA functioning, which should be reflected in its validity throughout its period. The Strategic Plan and the newly developed National Reporting Format have been designed so as to feed into each other, enabling easy reporting as well as monitoring of progress with achieving the targets set in the Strategic Plan. The Contracting Parties, and other main stakeholders, are requested to develop their own Work Plans to ensure implementation of this Strategic Plan at their level. In addition, it is recommended that a Secretariat Work Plan be prepared to accompany the Strategic Plan. This Secretariat Work Plan will link the targets set in the Strategic Plan to clear, measurable activities, including timing, budget, responsible persons, etc. It will also provide coherence with the International Implementation Tasks that have been set by the Agreement. The Secretariat Work Plan may then be regularly revised as the MOP deems it necessary, while the Strategic Plan continues to provide the long-term context within which AEWA operates. Amendments to the Strategic Plan could be approved by any MOP. Proposed amendments can be considered, as long as they are communicated to the AEWA Secretariat no later than 150 days prior to the MOP, thus being linked to the deadline for the submission of proposals for amendments to the Agreement.

8. Definitions Column A species/populations Waterbird species, whose populations are listed on Column A of Table 1 of Annex 3 to AEWA Column B species/populations Waterbird species, whose populations are listed on Column B of Table 1 of Annex 3 to AEWA Column C species/populations Waterbird species, whose populations are listed on Column C of Table 1 of Annex 3 to AEWA Favourable Conservation Status As described in Article 1 of the CMS: "Conservation status" will be taken as "favourable" when: (1) population dynamics data indicate that the migratory species is maintaining itself on a long-term basis as a viable component of its ecosystems; (2) the range of the migratory species is neither currently being reduced, nor is likely to be reduced, on a long-term basis; (3) there is, and will be in the foreseeable future sufficient habitat to maintain the population of the migratory species on a long-term basis; and (4) the distribution and abundance of the migratory species approach historic coverage and levels to the extent that potentially suitable ecosystems exist and to the extent consistent with wise wildlife management. Flyway Waterbird flyways are biological systems of migration paths that directly link sites and ecosystems in different countries and continents on which populations of migratory waterbird species depend. Unsustainable use Any use, which alone or in combination with others, leads or has the potential to lead to a species/population not being able to maintain its favourable conservation status.
