Issues related to costs assessment of the
KBA Delineation Process
• Difficult to identify costs specifically for KBA process but
can give costs for Ecosystem Profile preparation process
• Funding came from CEPF, with a small contribution from
the Melanesia CBC (approx USD$50,000)
• Costs used are budgeted costs. Actual costs were very
similar to budget
• Costs reflect time and methodology agreed with CEPF, not
necessarily best practice
• CABS staff time and travel costs were not reflected in the
KBA program’s budget (Estimate: USD$75,000)

Strengths & Weaknesses
of KBA process
Impact on Costs of KBA process
Focussed, technically 1. Consultant, so “metadata”
competent and organised
lost upon his departure, and
coordinator
no-one to operate GIS
Subregional consultation 2. Inconsistent results from
workshop approach
subregions (short prep time)
In line with NBSAP 3. Duplication
Collating regional data into 4. Huge task, beyond 1 person in
single system which never
short time, getting info can
done before
require lot of searching
Good workshop participant 5. Would have benefited from
composition
professional facilitator
The outcome definition was a 6. Outcome definition is an
one-off driven by need for
ongoing process, needs
an ecosystem profile
strategic resourcing over long
term
Islands good surrogate for 7. Good site definition key to
poor site data
good “Outcomes” analysis
