WB-GEF MED Neretva and Trebisnjica Management Project - under Investment Fund for the Mediterranean Sea LME Partnership
Project goal and objectives: The goal of the project would be to ensure the effective and environmentally sound management of the transboundary Neretva River Basin. The general project objective is to catalyze a more integrated approach to water resource management in the Neretva River Basin in order to improve the integrity of the ecosystem. The global environmental objective is to conserve the water and land resources, and biodiversity of an globally important watershed. The development objective is to improve the ecosystem functioning of a transboundary river basin.
Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project
In its first IW project with the PACSIDS, GEF provided support for the process of discussions and negotiation between Pacific SIDSs, other coastal states of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (including Indonesia and the Philippines) and fishing states, on a new regional arrangement for the conservation, management and sustainable development of transboundary stocks of highly migratory species and related species, including support for effective participation by Pacific SIDSs as well as training to strengthen PACSIDS understanding and capacity to participate in the process of adopting new a
Restoration, Protection and Sustainable Use of the Sistan Basin
The Sistan basin stretches across parts of south-western Afghanistan and south-eastern Iran. This inland basin is fed by rivers originating in the Central Highlands of Afghanistan. The basin includes a complex and unique wetlands system consisting of three large shallow lakes and a series of smaller lakes and marshes with extensive reed-beds. The lowest point in the basin, and hence the ultimate destination for waters, is the saline Godzareh depression in Afghanistan. The basin constitutes an excellent example of large, permanent, freshwater wetlands within an extremely arid desert region.
Demonstrating and Capturing Best Practices and Technologies for the Reduction of Land-sourced Impacts Resulting from Coastal Tourism
The objective of the Project is to address the negative impacts of tourism on the coastal and marine environment in Sub-Saharan Africa, as identified by the African Process , through promoting the development of sustainable tourism policies and strategies and the implementation of pilot demonstration projects in a number of countries that participated in the African Process. The full project objective is to demonstrate best practice stratgeies for sustainable tourism tor edcue the degradation of marine and coastal envrionments of transboundary significance.
CBPF: Conservation and Adaptive Management of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS)
The overall project goal is to identify and safeguard Globally Important Ingenious Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) and their associated landscapes, agricultural biodiversity and knowledge systems, through mobilizing global recognition and support for such systems and enhancing global, national and local benefits derived through their dynamic conservation, sustainable management and enhanced viability. Ultimately the project will be catalytic in establishing a long term program building on the experiences and lessons learnt in a few pilot systems.
Conservation & Management of Pollinators for Sustainable Agriculture through an Ecosystem Approach
The development goal of the project is to conserve, sustainably use and manage pollinators. The project has three principal objectives. The project will (1) develop and implement tools, methodologies, strategies and best management practices for pollinator conservation and sustainable use.
African Rift Geothermal Development Facility (ARGeo)
The Project’s development objective is to accelerate the development and utilization of geothermal resources in the Rift Valley as a pathway to low carbon development in the region. The Program’s global objective is to facilitate reduction of the growth rate of GHG emissions in the region through geothermal energy development to produce electricity.
Total Sector Methyl Bromide Phase Out in Countries with Economies in Transition
This regional intervention aims to support all eligible CEIT in their efforts to achieve compliance with the Copenhagen Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, specifically the agreed control schedule for Methylbromide (MBr). Country level activities to identify and phase out MBr consumption by the Protocol deadlines will be prepared by UNEP and UNDP in partnership with the recipient countries, and in close consultation with the Implementation Committee of the Montreal Protocol Parties.
Corazon Transboundary Biosphere Reserve
The global objective of the proposed project is to consolidate the management and protection of Nicaragua’s and Honduras’ proposed Transfrontier Biosphere Reserve “Corazón de Corredor Biológico Mesoamericano” (henceforth “Corazón Reserve”), simultaneously strengthening the PA systems as a whole of the two countries. The Corazón Reserve extends in Honduras from the Plátano Biosphere Reserve through the Tawakha Indigenous Reserve and Patuca National Park, to the Bosawas Reserve in Nicaragua and includes adjacent areas of natural habitat in the Mosquitia.
Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway Development and Coastal and Marine Contamination Prevention Project
The global environmental goal of the proposed Western Indian Ocean Marine Highway Development and Coastal and Marine Contamination Prevention Project is to contribute to protect the region’s coastal and marine environments and rich biodiversity from damage due to accidental spills and illegal discharges from ships and from illegal exploitation of marine and coastal resources.
