GIASIPartnership: the Purpose

To assist Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, and others, implement Article 8(h) and

Target 9 of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets:

“By 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent

their introduction and establishment”

Users: decision makers and IAS managers in more than 193 countries

GIASIPartnership: the Problem

• Information scattered and difficult to find

• Tools that exist also difficult to find

• Some overlap in delivery between providers

• Information gaps not understood

• Most users not IAS specialists
