Abstract: The Capacity Enhancement Programme for Developing Countries (CEPDEC) is a GBIF-developed multi-stakeholder initiative for capacity building in developing countries. Its main objective is to enhance the communication between science, policy and society through improving access to, and management of, biodiversity data thus helping developing countries move towards a sustainable future. Sud Expert Plantes (SEP) is an initiative of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to support the efforts of developing countries in Western and Central Africa, the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia to acquire knowledge about, preserve and sustainably use their plants and associated genetic resources. Twenty-two countries currently participate in SEP.
