This Work Programme provides a clearer and stronger linkage between the Secretariat's specific outputs in the Key Result Areas (KRAs) and Processes/Capabilities, and the 2001-2004 Action Plan and 2001-2005 Corporate Plan objectives and outcomes. It sets a framework within which the Secretariat is accountable in terms of the services and products it provides, the resources it manages and the policy analysis and advice it gives to its Members. The Work Programme and Budget also provides the budget estimates for die financial year 2002 and the projections for the financial years 2003 and 2004.

Biological diversity is the variety and variability of all species of plants, animals and microorganisms, as well as the ecosystems they compose. It serves and sustains our lives in countless ways by providing food, fuel, shelter, and medicines. Conserving biodiversity is in our self-interest.
