SP-SFIF: Strategic Partnership for a Sustainable Fisheries Investment Fund in the Large Marine Ecosystems of Sub-Saharan Africa (Tranche 1, Installment 1)
The 5 Large Marine Ecosystems(LMEs) of Sub-Saharan Africa are beginning to feel the cumulative effects of growing populations and overfishing. As such, these LMEs, and the living resources they support, are being threatened on two fronts: from the destruction of critical habitat that provides spawning and nursery grounds for many species of fish in the early stages of their life cycle, to over-harvesting of target fish stocks based on inadequate management of fishing effort (both local and distant fleets).
Coastal Resilience to Climate Change: Developing a Generalizable Method for Assessing Vulnerability and Adaptation of Mangroves and Associated Ecosystems
The purpose of the project is to develop a generalizable method and process to develop an effective adaptation strategy that could be adapted in different sites within common ecosystems. The project will focus its initiatives on a single ecosystem type - mangrove with near shore coral reefs. Further, the project will initiate pilot initiatives to test the adaptation strategy in the ecosystem to address and ameliorate climate change impacts. The overall goal of the project is to increase the resilience of vulnerable mangrove and coral reef ecosystems to the impacts of climate change.
Sustainable Management of Inland Wetlands in Southern Africa: A Livelihoods and Ecosystem Approach
This MSP aims to increase capacity for management of wetlands in both government and non-governmental agencies in southern Africa through generation of new knowledge on wetland functioning and development of sustainable land management options for wetlands. For wetland ecosystems in southern Africa, which are increasingly being used for agriculture, this principal objective offers great potential for benefits in terms of environmental protection, integrated land and water management and sustainable development.
Strategic Partnership for Nutrient Reduction in the Danube River and Black Sea - World Bank-GEF Nutrient Reduction Investment Fund: Tranche 3
1.The World Bank-GEF Investment Fund (IF) is the investment arm of the GEF Strategic Partnership on the Black Sea/Danube Basin which also funds two regional projects, the Black Sea Ecosystem Recovery Project for the Black Sea littoral countries and the Danube Regional Project in the Danube Basin, both focusing mainly on capacity building activities. The Fund constitutes a proposed envelope of US$70 million, to be approved by the GEF Council in three tranches, to partially grant-finance investment projects in the Black Sea/Danube Basin that aim at nutrient reduction.
Strengthening the Implementation Capacities for Nutrient Reduction and Transboundary Cooperation in the Danube River Basin (Tranche 2)
The overall objective of the Danube Regional Project is to complement the activities of the ICPDR required to provide a regional approach and global significance to the development of national policies and legislation and the definition of priority actions for nutrient reduction and pollution control with particular attention to achieving sustainable transboundary ecological effects within the DRB and the Black Sea area.
Managing Hydrogeological Risk in the Iullemeden Aquifer System
The Iullemeden sedimentary groundwater basin is located in Mali, Niger and Nigeria with minor, non-connected sections in Algeria and Benin. The aquifer system, which covers an area of 525 000 km2 with 31 000 km2 in Mali, 434 000 km2 in Niger and 60 000 km2 in Nigeria, represents one of the major freshwater reservoirs of West Africa and is linked to many humid areas and ecosystems.
Formulation of an Action Programme for the Integrated Management of the Shared Nubian Aquifer
At PDF-A: The overall objective of this project is to: develop the framework for the sustainable management and use of the Nubian Aquifer System in parts of Chad, Egypt, Libya and Sudan.The project will have four immediate objectives:1.Expand, and consolidate the technical and scientific knowledge base regarding the Nubian Aquifer system including the development of an appropriate groundwater model . 2.Develop and strengthen a joint Nubian Aquifer Management Framework that can guide the sustainable use of this important water resource and build transboundary cooperation.
