Indonesia's Biodiversity Policy and Institutional Review assesses the policies, institutions, and governance systems shaping biodiversity conservation and finance. The review identifies opportunities to strengthen coordination across sectors, improve policy effectiveness, and integrate biodiversity into national development planning, providing a foundation for more sustainable and well-financed biodiversity management.

This policy brief summarizes Viet Nam’s Biodiversity Finance Policy and Institutional Review, which examines the country’s fiscal, economic, legal, policy and institutional framework for biodiversity conservation. It identifies the strengths, gaps and barriers affecting the development and expansion of biodiversity finance solutions, while reviewing the roles of government agencies, protected areas, businesses and communities. The brief highlights fragmented financing, weak coordination and limited visibility of biodiversity spending within public budgets. It recommends stronger institutional arrangements, a dedicated biodiversity budget code, improved integration of biodiversity across sectoral policies, greater private-sector and community participation, and wider use of innovative financing mechanisms.

Based on technical consultations and guided by the BIOFIN Workbook, a customized methodology has been developed  in India for assessing the current and projected levels of biodiversity-attributable expenditures in the country and to assess financial needs for implementing the NBAP. As a result of research, analysis and a wide range of consultations and validation exercises, the BER process in India has mapped 116 schemes of 24 central line ministries and 29 departments having varied degree of relevance with biodiversity.

The analysis of political and institutional frameworks for preserving biodiveristy covers trends in biodiversity in terms of forestry, fishery, hunting industry, agriculture, water management and industry.

The analysis considers the country's practice and policy in the development of those sectors through the prism of preserving biodiversity.
