While there may not necessarily be a right or wrong way to allocate these various responsibilities, effectively mainstreaming biodiversity across different policies and programmes requires strong collaboration across these. An exercise undertaken by India illustrates the number of different ministries that are, to some degree, involved in the implementation of the NBAP across each of the National Biodiversity Targets (NBTs) (Table 2.2) (MoEFCC, 2014a). Additionally, India’s Addendum to the NBAP (2014) specifies indicators for the 12 NBTs and delineates the government agency responsible for monitoring each indicator. The agencies were identified on the basis of their mandate, expertise and geographical coverage and include national-, state- and local-level bodies.
