DEVELOPING INDICATORS TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF ACAP. 15.1 New Zealand presented paper AC2 Doc 20 entitled “ACAP Indicators”. This paper had been prepared by New Zealand, South Africa and BirdLife International and contained recommendations for progressing the development of indicators to measure the success in achieving and maintaining a favourable conservation status for albatrosses and petrels.
DEVELOPING INDICATORS TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF ACAP. 14.1 AC5 Inf 16 Rev 1, which summarised the recommendations of the Working Groups relating to performance indicators to measure the effectiveness of the Agreement, was presented to the AC. A summary of information from AC5 Docs 28 and 16, and AC5 Inf 8 was also presented, including a brief outline of previous consideration of performance indicators by the AC and MoP.
DEVELOPING INDICATORS TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF ACAP. 15.1 Following up from papers tabled at AC1 and AC2 (AC1 Doc 17, AC2 Doc 20), New Zealand gave an update on progress in the development of indicators to measure the success of ACAP in achieving favourable conservation status for albatrosses and petrels. Indicators were discussed at the recent STWG and SBWG meetings and had also been considered intersessionally by the BSWG. New Zealand noted that all three groups were now more aware of, and engaged in, the process of developing indicators.
DEVELOPING INDICATORS TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF ACAP. 16.1 It was noted that the development of indicators to measure the collective success of Parties in implementing the Agreement was of high importance. The United Kingdom offered to build on the work undertaken by New Zealand and others at AC3. New Zealand offered to assist with this work.
DEVELOPING INDICATORS TO MEASURE THE SUCCESS OF ACAP. 17.1 The current basis for the development of a system of indicators to measure the effectiveness of the Agreement was set out in AC5 Inf 16 Rev1. This was the subject of intersessional work following the guidance set out in AC5 Final Report paragraphs 14.2 to 14.4.
