This project works to enhance the capacity of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) in implementing its environmental policies and laws relating to renewable natural resources.  The Biodiversity Support Program (BSP) focuses on strengthening NEPA’s “green environment” technical oversight office for managing the renewable natural resources of Afghanistan. This provides the NEPA/GIRoA with a qualified technical support arm and utilizes available skills that will be developed during the implementation of the program.  In addition, the program assists NEPA in developing appropriate administrative systems and funding mechanisms to allow receipt of donor funding.
