UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project Addressing land-based activities in the Western Indian Ocean UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Context Nairobi Convention Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from land-based Activities UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Context The Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Context: • The UNEP implemented West Indian Ocean Land Based Sources of Pollution Project (WIO-LaB) • The World Bank implemented Southwest Indian Ocean Fisheries Project (SWIOFP) • The UNDP implemented Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ASCLME) Project Three Projects: UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Scope of the WIO-LaB TDA • Geographical scope: WIO and its catchment area • Thematic scope: Land-based activities UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Key characteristics of the WIO-LaB TDA/SAP process • (Political) framework provided by the Nairobi Convention • WIO-LaB TDA and SAP to be coordinated with ASCLMEs and SWIOFP Projects • Dedicated TDA and SAP Task Teams for drafting of TDA and SAP • Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee to provide scientific leadership and means of validation of TDA • SAP development linked to the development of specific National Action Plans (NAP) UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project

Socio-economic Consequences Socio-economic consequences The consequences of the environmental impacts in terms of social and economic effects, both direct and indirect, such as loss of revenue, lowering quality of life, health The effects of biophysical changes on the social and economic well-being of the population, e.g. reduced revenues from fisheries or health risks Environmental impacts The effects of activities on the biophysical environment, e.g. changes in species composition or mortality of marine organisms Transboundary problem Underlying sector and immediate causes The immediate causes of the problem, including the sectors associated with such causes, e.g. effluent streams related to industries and coastal settlements; soil erosion related to agriculture and forestry, etc. Root causes The underlying (fundamental) reasons for the problem, e.g. poverty, bad governance or financial constraints Causal chain and governance analysis UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project

The role of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) Act as a Scientific and Technical Advisory Board for the TDA Drafting Team throughout the various stages of development of the TDA report. Review and comment upon the draft WIO TDA report as prepared and submitted by the TDA Drafting Team. Facilitate and coordinate, where appropriate, the review of the above-described draft TDA report by relevant scientific constituencies at the national and regional levels. Recommend appropriate intervention measures to be considered for inclusion in the Strategic Action Plan (SAP) for the WIO Region. UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project

A common vision for the region “People of the region prospering from a healthy Western Indian Ocean” • Five key principles: • Equity • Sharing responsibility and management • Harmony between resource users and nature • An informed society, and • Lifestyles adjusted to sustainability. UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Environmental Quality Objectives By 2032 in the WIO region: • Critical coastal habitats will be protected, restored and managed for sustainable use; • Water quality will meet international standards; and • River flows will be wisely and sustainably managed By 2013, there will be: • Effective collaboration at regional level in addressing transboundary challenges UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Targets • Specific short (5 year), medium (5-15 year) and long-term (15-25 year) targets defined for each objective: • Policy and legal reforms • Information generation and analysis • Capacity and awareness building • Investments UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project

Principal mechanisms for endorsement of the SAP • Project Steering Committee • Conference of Parties to the Nairobi Convention UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
Implementing the SAP • Mainstreaming into national development plans • Identification of partners for SAP implementation • Development of concrete proposals for partner support • Designation of Regional Activity Centers • Monitoring and evaluation of SAP implementation by the Nairobi Convention Secretariat UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project

Three plusses • Involvement of regionally-accepted experts in the TDA development facilitates regional acceptance • Inclusive SAP development process has led to strong partnerships and ownership • The attachment to the Nairobi Convention secures a relatively straightforward governance mechanism UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project
