Abstract: The Capacity Enhancement Programme for Developing Countries (CEPDEC) is a GBIF initiative that helps create effective capacity in developing countries to integrate the use of biodiversity data in education, science and decision-making at all levels. A CEPDEC project generally is a partnership among the government of a developing country, development agencies and other donors in developed countries, the scientific community, biodiversity stakeholders, decision makers and GBIF. The latest information on CEPDEC is always available from the CEPDEC Section of the GBIF Website.
