What is it about?
How are non governmental organizations, stakeholders and other actors currently contributing to Sustainable Development – particularly in relation to vital environmental matters and climate issues? This presentation highlights developments which have taken place in respect of Seychelles since the inception of Project “Debt for Nature” to the current Project “Debt for Dolphins and Marine Conservation”. It illustrates the importance of the nature and extent of coordination involved between actors – as well as commitment through the engagement of environmental organizations, as well as stakeholders – such as the Paris Club and the Nature Conservancy.

Why is it important?
Innovative partnerships are increasingly popular and are becoming popular because of the engagement of non traditional agencies and actors such as environmental organisations, conservancy groups and even States and governments in designing an appropriate model for financing and probably more importantly, coordinating in such a way to ensure the sustainability of the project - as well as achieving its intended goals and objectives.
Perspectives
This not only highlights the importance of effective coordination between states, non governmental organizations and conservation agencies - as well as independent actors, in funding environmental schemes, but also the growing importance of sustainability in matters relating to aid and environmental projects. Whilst environmental concerns need to be addressed, economic concerns which may hinder the sustainability of such projects should also be incorporated in designing and facilitating such projects. Herein lies a role of Artificial Intelligence - and particularly, forward looking regression techniques.
