The overall Global Environment Objective of the proposed project is to support the development of environmentally sound management of POPs in Kazakhstan consistent with the country’s obligations under the Stockholm Convention.

The objective of the proposed project is to reduce the environmental and public health hazards associated with stockpiles of POPs pesticides by eliminating stockpiles, safeguarding sites, building legislation and enforcement capacity, and reducing farmer reliance on POPs pesticides

To establish a viable and sustainable trans-frontier conservation area (TFCA) that links forest reserves and protected areas in and around Bia and Diambarakro.

The detailed characterisation, selection of treatment option and decontamination of approx. 18,000 tonnes of POPs and pesticide contaminated soil at the Sebele Farm site and associated contaminated sites in Botswana

The project’s Global Environmental Objective is the elimination of risks from POPs and pesticide residues in Mozambique through the use of environmentally sound management methods that prevent the creation of additional POPs or other environmental contaminants. The overall impact (Project Development Objective / PDO) of this project will be to reduce the risk to public health and the environment posed by poor pesticide management and obsolete pesticide waste.

To eliminate risks from POPs and other obsolete pesticides in Eritrea through the use of sound environmental management methods to dispose of existing stocks and prevent further accumulation of POPs and obsolete pesticides. This will result in the reduced exposure of farmers, consumers and the public to obsolete pesticides

The project aims at conserving agro-biodiversity and promoting local products (“produits du terroir”), through payments for ecosystem services in the Souss-Massa Drâa Region. Identified products of local and global importance are Argan (Argania spinosa) and honey

Support to the implementation of the Barcelona Convention ICZM Protocol through the development of region wide coordination mechanisms and tools to address climate variability in the Mediterranean Region.

To improve water management through piloting integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the Nile Delta and enhancing the knowledge and capacity of water sector institutions for IWRM in Egypt, contributing to pollution reduction in the Mediterranean Sea. These pilots will form the basis for scaling up investments through the Government’s Integrated Water Resources Management Plan and contribute even more significantly to depollution and improved ecosystem health of the Mediterranean Sea and its biodiversity resources.

To catalyze management effectiveness of Qinghai’s PA system to fulfil its purpose of conserving globally important biodiversity
