The regional workshop "Operationalization of the data reporting tool (DaRT) for Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria and Yemen"

Within the framework of the “Realizing Synergies for Biodiversity” project, the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) has developed and is rolling out to countries, the first tool supporting parties to effectively
use synergies in the field of national reporting. The tool, “Data Reporting Tool for MEAs – DaRT” provides private
and secure national working spaces for Parties to organize, share, and maintain information, data and knowledge
across conventions and according to national, regional and global environmental targets.
DaRT has the potential to boost the preparation of more coherent reports with less contradictions within a
shorter time frame thereby significantly reducing the burden of “data hunting” during preparation of national
reports. The authenticity and coherence of reports on cross-cutting thematic issues will be easily verifiable from
the country instance if adequately populated.
The creation and operationalization of a DaRT national workspace for Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Sudan, Syria
and Yemen will certainly be beneficial for the countries' Environment Ministry, as it will ensure the systematic
development of the institutional knowledge necessary for national reporting by all national focal points for
biodiversity-related multilateral environmental agreements, such as CBD, RAMSAR, CMS, etc.
