UNDP works with Bulgarians, so they have more choices in their lives. We do this through combining international perspectives with national ownership and support to project management. To do this well, our website is key. It will help us to share more knowledge among our many partners, so they can better translate the opportunities of EU membership into better lives for more people.
closeMainstreaming environment and sustainable development, including climate change, in national development planning and implementation is central to UNDP’s poverty reduction and MDG mission.
closeThe goal of the project is to ensure long-term conservation of the high nature value grasslands of Bulgaria and to mainstream grasslands biodiversity concerns into Bulgaria’s agricultural policy in order to reverse the negative changes caused by unsustainable grazing, abandonment, and land conversion.
To achieve these goals, the project envisages a number of activities like preparation of biodiversity management plans and agri-environment management plans for the pilot sites, assist farmers to access agri – environment payments from NRDP; facilitate marketing of eco-products, awareness raising at local and national level, share lessons learned for replication within EU and UNDP/GEF.
The project will establish an Agri-Environment Policy Unit and a Mobile Advisory Center will be established.
closeThe project seeks to create a viable/working model for the implementation of the National Programme and to demonstrate the renovation of residential blocks and their cartilage, developing in parallel to this the rules and mechanisms for the implementation and management of the NPRRBB. Based on it the MRDPW will prepare the secondary legislation for the programme’s organization.
