The criteria for project selection on: sub-regional representation, the degree of public involvement in the design and implementation of projects in the region on biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation or international waters; project outcomes should demonstrate a direct causal connection betweenfacreased participation and increased sustainability, project located in GEF eligible countries; address one or more GEF Operational Focal Areas, among others. 22 Annex 2 Participation in Environment Policy and Decision Making: Mechanisms for Implementation Purpose: The purpose of establishing a separate program for civil society participation in national environmental policy and decision making is to. provide sufficient opportunity and resources for such groups to promote participatory approaches in environmental management and to encourage greater involvement of non-governmental gro~ps in key environmental fora ;:tt the national, and whenever possible, at the regional l~vels. Criteria: Financial and technical support will be given to organizations whose activities focus on participatory planning and consultations in natural resources management, environmental policy, and legislative planning, initially in relation to biodiversity conservation and international waters. Support will be granted to organizations conducting activities that have an impact on local environments· and community environmental policies and are committed to integrate participatory approaches in managing biodiversity resources and transboundary water uses. Recipients: local community groups (e.g., women's associations, indigenous communities, youth); grassroots environment organizations; government officials at the sub-national level undertaking public hearings, consultations or meetings; civil society groups (including local schools, consumer organizations, academic institutions), and private sector representatives (e.g., small business, cooperatives); Eligibility:. recipients whose organizations are currently engaging in pa,rticipatory planning, consultations, . and dissemination of activities related to natural resources management, in particular, biodiversity conservation and international waters; Mechanisms for Implementation: The Information Network will be the main source of information for potential recipients of support in this program. Dissemination of relevant information will be done through the Internet and other means of effective cominunication ' for reaching broad-based groups. The OAS Technical Group (TG), the Project Advisory ' Committee (PAC), the GEF national focal points and others identified in the OAS roster of organizations will be involved in the program. Decisions on support will be made jointly by the OAS TG and the PAC in accordance with the above criteria. 1 Preparatory work to establish a longer-term mechanism, such as an environment participation fund, for supporting the program's activities beyond the project's life will be done, incorporating lessons' learned in this initial phase. This includes conduct of feasibility of establishing a fund and mobilizing from various sources. Work will be undertaken by a specialist. Recommendations will be evaluated by the OAS TG and the PAC. 23 AnnexJ Information Brief on the Executing Agency 1. Applicant: The General Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS/OAS) 2. Background: The Organization of American States (OAS) is the world's oldest regional organization, dating back to the First International Conference of American States, held in Washington, D.C., from October 1889 to April 1890. The establishment of the International Union of American Republics was approved at that meeting on April 14, 1890. The OAS Charter was signed in Bogota in 1948 and entered into force in December 1951. Subsequently, the Charter was amended by the Protocol of Buenos Aires, signed in 1967, which entered into force in February .1970; by the Protocol of Cartagena de Indias, signed in 1985, which entered into force in November 1988; and by the Protocol of Managua, signed in 1993, which entered into force in January 1996. In 1992, the Protocol of Washington was signed; it will enter into force upon ratification by two thirds of the member states. The OAS currently has 35 member states. In addition, the Organization has granted Permanent Observer status to 39 states and to the European Union. The basic purposes of the OAS are as follows: to strengthen the peace and security of the continent; to promote and consolidate representative democracy, with due respect for the principle of nonintervention; to prevent possible causes of difficulties and to ensure the pacific settlement of disputes that may arise among the member states; to provide for common action on the part of those states in the event of aggression; to seek the solution of political, juridical and economic problems that may arise among them; to promote, by cooperative action, their economic, social and cultural development, and to achieve an effective limitation of conventional weapons that will make it possible to devote the largest amount of resources to the economic and social development of the member states. 3. Organizational Structure: The OAS accomplishes its purposes through the following organs: the General Assembly; the Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of Foreign Affairs; the Councils (the Permanent Council and the Inter-American Council for Integral Development); the Inter-American Juridical Committee; the Inter-American Commission on Hllinan Rights; the General Secretariat; the Specialized Conferences; the Specialized Organizations; and other entities established by the General Assembly. The General Secretariat is the central and permanent organ of the OAS. The headquarters of both the Permanent Council and the General Secretariat is in Washington, D.C. 4. Leadership: Mr. cesar Gaviria, Secretary General 5. Membership: Member States: Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Bahamas (Commonwealth of), Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica (Commonwealth of), Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St.Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela. 6. Recent Programs/Projects/Activities: The GS/OAS, through the Unit of Sustainable Development and Environment (USDE), is acting as executing agency for two GEF-financed projects: (1) Caribbean: Planning for Adaptation to Global Climate Change (World Bank), $6.3 million; and (2) Bolivia/Argentina: Strategic Action Program for the Binational Basin. of the Bermejo River (UNEP), $2.99 million. 7.
