    "content": "(k) prepare national guidelines on benefit sharing in consultation with other sectoral leaders; and (l) identify, in consultation with sector specific organizations, incentives and benefits to promote the conservation of natural resource. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, we are amending Clause 6 by including the words: “build the capacity of local communities in the negotiations for benefit sharing and implementation of the projects”. Clause 6 deals with the functions of the Authority. It was felt that it was important that we include that we need to build the capacity of the local communities in the negotiations for benefit sharing and implementation of projects, so that these communities can be aware and continue to be part and parcel of building that capacity. That amendment also includes another function that we are hoping to add and that is to prepare national guidelines on benefit sharing in consultation with other sectoral leaders. The reason for that amendment is to ensure that certain national guidelines are all in sync and that various amendments, decisions and introduction are not made in an adhoc manner, so that there is more coordination in that area. Lastly, sub-clause (l) is to identify, in consultation with sector specific organizations, incentives and benefits to promote the conservation of natural resource. The reason for this amendment is to ensure moving forward the promotion of the conservation of natural resources is kept, because most communities tend to utilize the natural resources without having a way of replenishing that resource. For Clause 6, it was felt that adding the functions of the Authority will strengthen the Authority in terms of making sure that the national resources are well utilized."
