The Bureau in partnership with the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University (KVL) based in Denmark and with funding from DANIDA entered in 2006 into a Memorandum of Agreement with the aim of implementing the Project “Monitoring Matters: Comparative Analysis of Innovative Approaches” (MOMA).  Generally, the project intends to achieve sustainable use of natural resources thereby utilizing the most reliable methods of monitoring resources use trends in the country particularly in identified priority PAs.  Specifically, the project hopes to develop an improved understanding of the reliability of locally-based participatory monitoring versus conventional monitoring.
