Notes de l'éditeur
An expert team of economists based at the University of Oxford, Earth Change Institute will provide analysis to the HLP.
WACDEP is being piloted in 5 transboundary basins and in each of these one or two countries are implementing more in-depth activities. Selection was based on quick wins in order to learn and share with other countries and also upscale the approach for implementation at various levels.
