Australian Government's Biodiversity Fund

The Monitoring Evaluation Reporting and Improvement Strategy: Caring for our Country and the Biodiversity Fund (The MERI Strategy) outlines the MERI process for both the second phase of Caring for our Country (2013-2018) and the Biodiversity Fund (2012-2018). The MERI Strategy also outlines the roles and responsibilities of funding recipients and the Australian Government.

The MERI Strategy will ensure:
Funding recipients can track and report on project progress and achievements.
The Australian Government can track program progress and report on program achievements, including their impacts on the environment, natural resource base and community.
Information collected along the way is used effectively, including by funding recipients and the Australian Government to inform ongoing and future design and delivery of projects and programs.
