  1. GEF Strategic Priorities in International Waters Nick Remple RBEC Environment and Energy Practice Workshop, Almaty, Kazakhstan. 6-9 October 2004

  2. What makes IW portfolio distinct • No single convention like all other Focal Areas • Large majority of projects are multi-country • About half co-implemented w/UNEP, WB or both • Large majority are UN agency executed; UNOPS about 50% • Handful executed by intergovernmental organizations (Convention Secretariats) • Majority have associated regional convention (some GEF supported); GEF is ‘proxy’ financial mechanism for many moribund regional seas and river basin conventions • UNDP has very good working relations with GEFSEC and both IA’s • Partnerships are key element to our success (incl. w/EEAs) • Many have components in other focal areas (esp. BD, LD, some POPs) • UNDP largest of 3 IA’s in cumulative IW allocation (~42%)

  3. Operational Programmes • OP8 – Waterbody – based • TDA/SAP • degraded waterbodies - restoration • LME, Lake & river basin Components • OP9 – Integrated Land & Water/Multiple Focal Area • TDA/SAP • Prevention vs. restoration • Integrated land & water resource management approaches • Land Degradation, SIDS and MFA Components (esp. BD, CC) • OP10 – Contaminants – based • LBA demonstrations • Global Contaminants (mercury, POPs, endocrine disruptors…) • Ship-related Contaminants – Marine Electronic Highway, ship invasives • Regional/Global Technical Support

  4. Strategic Priorities IW-1. SAP Implementation: - Catalyze financial resource mobilization for implementation of reforms and stress reduction measures agreed through TDA-SAP or equivalent processes for particular transboundary systems IW-2. Expand TDA/SAP: Africa, Water scarcity, Overfishing; also Targeted Learning: - Expand global coverage of foundational capacity building addressing the two key program gaps with a focus on cross-cutting aspects of African transboundary waters and support for targeted learning. IW-3. Innovative demos: contaminants, water scarcity; PPP – access to water, sanitation: - Undertake innovative demonstrations for reducing contaminants and addressing water scarcity issues with a focus on engaging the private sector and testing public-private partnerships.

  5. Strategic Priority FY03-05 S.P. Target ($) FY03-05 S.P. Target (# of waterbodies) 1 – SAP Implementation $121 m. 9 2 - Expand TDA/SAP: Africa, Water scarcity, Overfishing; also Targeted Learning $79 m. 5 3- Innovative demos: contaminants, water scarcity; PPP – access to water, sanitation $60 m. 8 demos/PPP
