Purpose (context and justification)
The Project Objective of the UNEP/GEF funded Cameroon Biosecurity Project or CBP (Development and Institution of a National Monitoring and Control System (Framework) for Living Modified Organisms (LMOs) and Invasive Alien Species (IAS)) which is being executed by MINEPDED is to increase capacity to prevent and control the introduction, establishment and spread of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and management of LMOs in Cameroon through the implementation of a risk-based decision making process.
The completed, ongoing, and planned, CBP project activities to contribute to this objective are being executed under four interacting components: 1) Establish policy, regulatory and institutional framework for effective biosecurity; 2) Implement sustainable biosecurity strategies; 3) Biosecurity capacity building; and 4) Information and awareness.
The activity documented in this report – the production of a National Biological Invasions Communications and Awareness-raising Plan – is being executed under Component 4 but is crosscutting in nature as all project activities involve some aspect of communication.
Objectives of the consultancy
The main objective of this consultancy is the production of a communications and awarenessraising plan for the Cameroon Biosecurity Project, but which will continue after project closure, to help ensure that all project activities and specifically those undertaken under Component 4 will serve to increase awareness of biological invasions among key stakeholder groups and the general public as an essential contribution to a more effective biosecurity approach for the country. As it is intended that this strategy will be implemented during and beyond the project, it is referred to as the Cameroon Biosecurity Communication Strategy (CBCS) rather than the CBP CS. The plan will incorporate an international element, the objective of which is to promote replication of project outcomes in neighbouring countries, in the Subregion and in the African Region.
