A similar exercise was carried in early 2013 out
in connection with focus on other PA managing
institutions, namely Seychelles National Parks
Authority (SNPA) and Island Conservation
Society (ICS), as well as the UNDP-GEF
Program Coordination Unit (PCU). Results were
averaged and are as follows:
Systemic 18/30 = 60%
Institutional 30/45 = 67%
Individual 10/21 = 48%
See complete results here:

There is need to carry out the exercise on
targeting the entities directly involved in PA
management and benefitting from the project,
namely (1) Nature Seychelles (NS); (2) Marine
Conservation Society of Seychelles (MCSS); (3)
Seychelles Islands Foundation (SIF); and (4)
Green Islands Foundation (GIF).

the MTR and TE, so that the

independent evaluator.

to carry out the METT are yet
to be measured or are

There is no progress so far
towards the indicator. The
last gazettal of PAs to happen
in Seychelles was that of
terrestrial part of Silhouette
and the numbers have already
taken this into considerations
in the baseline (cross-
checking with SNPA).
Silhouette island counted
already with a marine park
with > 3,000ha, In 2010, 93%
of Silhouette Island’s
terrestrial area was declared a
national park and under the
management of Island
Conservation Society.
Baseline studies for the
current and potential new
terrestrial and marine PAs
have only just begun; as
project progresses, this target
will be clearly visible.
