The GEF project for Sustainable Island Resource Management (SIRM) commenced in January 2008, following a comprehensive planning phase that began in 2005. This innovative project aims to ensure easy access to environmental management information for stakeholders, establishing a robust SIRM plan backed by necessary policy and institutional reforms. It focuses on assessing success through defined targets and indicators, addressing biodiversity status, and evaluating the project's impact through policy interventions. With ongoing monitoring programs and public awareness campaigns, the initiative serves as a model for other Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

History • Long development phase • PDF-B Phase Lunched June 2005 • Project Launched January 2008
SIRMM Project Structure • EASY AND RELIABLE ACCESS TO INFORMATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BY ALL STAKEHOLDERS • A SUSTAINABLE ISLAND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN DEVELOPED AND IN PLACE • POLICY AND INSTUTIONAL REFORMS PROVIDE FOR IMPLIMENTATION OF THE SIRM PLAN • REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPLIMENTATION OF THE SIRM PLAN IN PLACE, AS WELL AS MECHANISM FOR CAPTURE OF LESSONS AND BEST PRACTICES Demonstrating the Implementation of a Sustainable Island Resource Management Mechanism
Assessing Success Targets and indicators • In project document • Unrealistic in terms of scheduling, time, budget, capacity. • Not closely related to national priorities
Nationally developed Targets and Indicators • Required by the project • Information tool • Overall status and trends of biodiversity in Antigua and Barbuda; • Impact of the project via policy interventions and other actions; • Project management and design
Nationally developed Targets and Indicators • A model for other SIDS and for provision of guidance to the GEF; • Feed back for public awareness and formal Education; • A reporting measure to the CBD, SGD and other relevant conventions and agreements.
How to measure • Achieve at least 50% of these and the project will be considered a success for Antigua and Barbuda.
Other Targets and Indicators • For each outcome and demo • Capacity Building • National Impact • Replicability • Public Awareness
Next steps • Baseline collection(in progress) • Long term Monitoring Program and mid term assessments • Respond to negative trends by making adjustment where necessary
