Exit Survey
 
 
The January 27 Expert Consultation on “Conservation is Development” aims to harness the collective wisdom of USAID colleagues largely working outside of the biodiversity conservation sector to help operationalize the integration goal of USAID’s Biodiversity Policy.

This consultation emerged from the experience of FAB-supported groups working on the interface of biodiversity conservation and key development sectors. Some of you have been involved in these “integration working groups” while others are new to this effort. We selected participants based on their involvement and potential interest in biodiversity integration as well as their expertise in integration and in technical areas that can enrich our perspectives and practice.

For further information on biodiversity, its conservation and policy implementation please refer to the Biodiversity and Development Handbook. The Handbook includes several sections on integration, to which many Agency colleagues have contributed.

FAB is planning for the expert consultation to be as interactive and productive as possible. To that end, we are gathering background information to help shape the sessions. This short survey aims to:

● Help us understand participants’ knowledge and expectations.
● Learn about projects, activities, and experiences that include elements of biodiversity conservation and integration with other development sectors to provide concrete examples for discussion.

This survey is confidential. However, please note that technical information generated by the survey will be used by the consultation organizers and shared with participants in the aggregate.

We estimate the survey will take approximately 12 minutes to complete. Please respond by January 20th, 2016.

Thank you and we look forward to your participation!
