B. PROJECT PREPARATION ACTIVITIES ($)

Describe the PPG activities and justifications: A). Conduct a coordinated and participatory process
for project formulation, which will include an initial stock-taking exercise as required by the GEF
Strategy, which will provide both a needs assessment (relating to legal, technical, coordination, and
follow-up issues, among others) and a project baseline, a side-by-side comparison to address
complementarities with the WB-GEF projects and respond to GEF SEC review comments, and an
incremental cost analysis. B). Conduct a discussion process to initiate with National Competent
Authorities and relevant stakeholders in order to analyze and validate the project's approach to
biosafety capacity building, beginning with the objectives, components, outcomes, outputs, planned
activities, through to determining appropriate quantitative and qualitative targets and indicators, and a
definitive budget. C). Determine and concur on the details of project implementation, such as
execution arrangements (including institutional roles, an inter-project coordination plan for optimal
integration with the WB-projects and the project coordinator's terms of reference), mechanisms for
monitoring and evaluating project progress and impact, and co-financing responsibilities. Finally,
draft the various inputs required for compilation and presentation to the GEF of an MSP proposal.
