GEF National Capacity Self Assessment (NCSA) : cross-cutting report
According to the GEF/GSP Resource Kit for National Capacity Self-Assessment (2005), analysis of cross-cutting issues is one of the basic steps in the NCSA process. The objective of this analysis is to assess capacity issues, needs and opportunities that cut across the conventions. This includes identification of common needs and possible synergies that could be achieved in the country by addressing requirements across two or more themes. This analysis also aims to identify capacity needs that are common to both national and global environmental management, and possible synergies between them. Result of the cross-cutting analysis is often a list of priority national capacity needs and opportunities for synergies. The cross-cutting analysis may also identify possible capacity development actions that can be refined in the action plan.
