UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project1 Nairobi Convention Experts Meeting A Framework for the Development of a Strategic Action Programme for the WIO Johannesburg, South Africa, 5 th - 6 th November 2007

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project The TDA/SAP Approach as a Management Tool for the WIO What is a TDA and a SAP?

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project3 The TDA – SAP Process Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis a scientific and technical fact-finding analysis used to scale the relative importance of sources, causes and impacts of transboundary waters problems. Strategic Action Programme a negotiated policy document which should identify policy, legal and institutional reforms and investments needed to address the priority transboundary problems.

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project The TDA/SAP Approach as a Management Tool for the WIO Why do we need a TDA and a SAP?

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project Why do we need a TDA/SAP for the WIO region (1)? Interventions frequently fail to fully identify the impacts and temporal and geographical boundaries of the problem and its causes.

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project Why do we need a TDA/SAP for the WIO region (2)? Limited financial support and capacities for addressing international waters problems Need to agree upon funding priorities related to certain key issues

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project The TDA/SAP Approach as a Management Tool for the WIO The regional context

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project8 Context The Region: The Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project9 Context: The UNEP implemented West Indian Ocean Land Based Sources of Pollution Project (WIO-LaB) The World Bank implemented Southwest Indian Ocean Fisheries Project (SWIOFP) The UNDP implemented Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystem (ASCLME) Project Three Projects:

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project28 Structure of the Framework SAP 1. Pollution from land-bases sources and consequent degeneration of water quality; 2. Physical alteration and destruction of habitats; and 3. Alteration in fresh water flows and sediment loads from rivers. 4. Cross-cutting issues Four thematic areas of intervention:

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project29 Structure of the Framework SAP 1. Monitoring and Assessment: Filling in data and information gaps 2. Management Tools: Developing and demonstrating appropriate technical and managerial approaches to address problems 3. Governance: Strengthening policy, legal and institutional frameworks 4. Information management, capacity building and awareness raising Four levels of intervention:

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project30 Next steps 1. Elaborate intervention plans based on the Framework SAP (together with partners) 2. Development of targets (Environmental Quality Objectives) and indicators 3. Establishment of institutional framework for SAP implementation 4. National and regional (political) consultations 5. Endorsement of SAP Developing the SAP:

UNEP/GEF WIO-LaB Project31 Next steps 1. Mainstreaming into national development plans 2. Identification of partners for SAP implementation 3. Development of concrete proposals for donor support 4. Donor Conference 5. Monitoring and evaluation of SAP implementation Implementing the SAP:
