Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands (LADA)
The principal objectives of LADA project are two-fold. First, to develop and implement strategies, tools and methods to assess and quantify the nature, extent and severity of land degradation and the overall ecosystem resilience of dryland ecosystems at a range of spatial and temporal scales. The assessment will integrate biophysical factors and socio-economic driving forces.
Institutional Strengthening and Resource Mobilization for Mainstreaming Integrated Land and Water Management Approaches into Development Programs in Africa
This project seeks to provide a strong base for the Africa Land and Water Initiative in the contexts of the respective countries' development programs.
Conservation of Gramineae and Associated Arthropods for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Africa
Grasses comprise a large and diverse plant group that is probably the most important to mankind, yet has rarely been the focus of biodiversity projects. Another largely neglected group in biodiversity studies is insects and other arthropods, which represent about 70% of the world’s biodiversity. Both figure strongly in agrobiodiversity, as beneficial species (crops and enemies of pests) and as noxious species (weeds and crop pests) that nevertheless may act as reservoirs of beneficial species. Yet species and races of grasses and insects are under threat due to increasing human pressure.
DBSB Reduction of Nutrient Discharges - under WB-GEF Strategic Partnership for Nutrient Reduction in the Danube River and Black Sea
The main objective of the project is to decrease nutrients discharges into the Danube River and loads to the Black Sea, by improving the reduction of nutrients in effluent from wastewater treatment plants at Budapest and Dunaújváros and increasing the nutrient retention capacity at the Danube-Dráva National Park’s Gemenc and Béda-Karapancsa Region.
Development and Integration of the Environmental Component in the Partnership for Africa Renewal Programme
The GEF has been working with African Governments through the UNCBD, UNFCCC and UNCCD to develop national environmental frameworks that support sustainable development and alleviation of poverty. This project aims at assisting African countries to consolidate this experience to address in a comprehensive and integrated manner the global environmental challenges facing the continent and promote regional and sub-regional collaboration as part of the Millenium African Renaissance Programme.
DBSB Agricultural Pollution Control Project - under WB-GEF Strategic Partnership for Nutrient Reduction in the Danube River and Black Sea
The overall objective of the project is to reduce nutrient pollution from agricultural sources in Moldova to the Danube River and Black Sea.

Enabling Activities for the Preparation of Initial Communication Related to UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
The main objective of this proposed project is to enable the country to fulfil its commitments and obligations as required by Articles 4.1 and 12.1 of the Convention, especially the preparation and the reporting of its Initial National Communications as cited in Article 12.1 (a), (b) and (c) of the UNFCCC based on the recommended COP2 guidelines and format for non-Annex I Parties. The project will fill in the gaps and build on the past and ongoing activities related to climate change.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions through the Use of Biomass Energy in Northwest Slovakia
a) To create a commercial wood pellet market in the region by constructing a Central Processing Unit (CPU) for pellet production from wood waste. b) To provide a replicable, economically viable, and environmentally friendly source of heat in 44 schools and public buildings by replacing existing coal/coke boilers with pellet-fired boilers. c) To replicate the project in neighboring municipalities and in at least one other region of Slovakia.
