The Vision project is designed to find solutions over the long term to the factors that contribute to the problems of water misuse. The objectives of the Vision process are to: (a) raise awareness of issues among general population and decision-makers so as to foster political will and leadership; (b) develop a vision of water management in year 2025 that is shared by water sector specialists and civil society; and (c) provide input to the Global Water Partnership investment strategy.

The Project will contribute to the mitigation of current and emergent transboundary threats to the waterbody by assisting Argentina and Uruguay to prepare a Strategic Action Programme as a framework for addressing the most imminent transboundary issues.

This initiative is a follow up of the Pilot Phase PRIF project “planning and Management of Heavily Contaminated Bays and Coastal Areas in the Wider Caribbean”; the project areas were Havana Bay (Cuba), Puerto Limon (Costa Rica0, Cartagena Bay (Colombia) and Kingston Harbour (Jamaica). This PRIF project resulted in the development of investment and institutional strenghtening plans and in the identification of sources of financing for the implementation of remedial actions. Leveraged baseline investments in the four bays were in excess of $250 million.
