Outlook on GEF6 – Proposed International Waters Strategy
1. Outlook on GEF6 –
Proposed International Waters Strategy
Astrid Hillers
GEF International Waters Focal Area
IWC 7 Barbados
2. International Waters Focal Area
Goal: to promote collective management for transboundary
water systems and foster policy, legal, and institutional reforms
and investments towards sustainable use and maintenance of
ecosystem services.
Focus: joint management of shared water systems to balance
competing uses and enabling sharing of benefits from their
utilization.
Key approaches/tools are still valid…
3. GEF IW investments through series of interventions
Delivering GEF International Waters Global
Environment Benefits
Full-scale SAP Implementation
Strengthening policy and legal
and institutional frameworks
Foundational Capacity
Building/Enabling
environments, Basic Policy and
cooperation framework
4. What have we learned & influence on
GEF-6 IW Strategy approaches (1)
• Water is key to development – balance water needs across
sectors and borders continues to be key.
• Cooperation across borders takes time – GEF 6 remains to
aim at supporting series of interventions
• Climate change - no longer is the past a predictor for the
future; to be addressed in ALL new TDA/SAPs – update early
ones
• Cooperation needs investments & investments need
cooperation – GEF 6 foundational activities will continue to
build in tangible demonstrations
5. GEF-6 IW Strategy approaches (2)
• Bridge science-policy gap – scientists and technicians need to
produce information in a form accessible & relevant to decision
makers
– From perceptions to facts – game changer
– Advance economic evaluation – implications of development
decisions
• Food demand likely increase groundwater use - Advancing
conjunctive management in tb basins/basin organisations & on
national level and strengthening groundwater governance
• OUT OF THE WATER BOX - Supporting green growth/green
economy through delivery on Water-Food-Energy-Ecosystem
Nexus
6. GEF-6 IW Strategy approaches (3)
• Melting High Altitude Glaciers - special challenge &
attention –over 1 billion people dependent on water
resources of Himalayas alone
• Ocean Health – address key threats to oceans ecosystem
health in an integrated way. Address multiple stresses on
their shared LMEs and coasts through three interlinked
programs:
1. Reduce Ocean Hypoxia
2. Prevent Loss and Degradation of Coastal Habitats
3. Foster Sustainable Fisheries
7. GEF-6 IW Strategy approaches (3)
• Knowledge Management and Learning – build into all
interventions. IW Learn has been an essential mechanism
through GEF life & will expand into a wider partnership.
• Targeted Research – staying ahead of curve
• Results – clearer indicators to allow demonstrating impacts
• Gender – more explicit attention & tracking access of gender
differentiated indicators
8. Proposed GEF-6 IW Strategy
Goal: To promote collective management of transboundary water systems and
implementation of the full range of policy, legal and institutional reforms and
investments contributing to sustainable use and maintenance of ecosystem services
Objective 1: Catalyze
Sustainable Management of
Transboundary Waters
Objective 2: Balance
Competing Water-uses in
the Management of
Transboundary Surface and
Groundwater
1.1 Foster Cooperation for
Sustainable use of Transboundary Water Systems &
Economic Growth
2.1 Advance Conjunctive
Management of Surface &
Groundwater systems
Objective 3: Rebuild Marine
Fisheries, Restore and Protect
Coastal Habitats, and Reduce
Pollution of Coasts and LMEs
3.1 Reduce Ocean Hypoxia
3.2 Prevent the Loss and
Degradation of Coastal Habitat
1.2 Increase Resilience &
Flow of Ecosystems Services
in Context of Melting High
Altitude Glaciers
2.2 Water/Food/Energy/
Ecosystem Security Nexus
3.3 Foster Sustainable Fisheries
+ Proposed Signature Program: Rebuilding Global Fisheries
Talking about what will stay steady and where GEF 6 responds to urgent needs and puts emphasis on upcoming threats and stresses.Process – where is the strategy now ?
The overall goal has remained since IW 1995 strategyImportance to have a steady approach for processes that in itself are long-term – GEF IW hence provides a steady aim yet thrives to learn from lessonsBuilds on successful models and modifies from that baseIt also remains – key is aiding countries in balancing competing water needs across sectors and across borders – this remains at heart of the GEF strategy moving forwardOverall Impacts – > see last slideApproaches – leads to next slide
So how does GEF work ?Series of interventions neededGEF – “in-built approach” and recognition of the need for successive series of support – if progress is madeTake account of fact: Cooperation requires long-term commitments by development partners and countries alike1. “Foundational projects”:Establishment of National Inter-ministry Committees. Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis: joint fact-findingfor concerns and opportunities in the hydrologic unit; involve local & internat’l science communities, set priorities, break down complexity into manageable pieces. MOVE FROM PERCEPTIONS TO FACTS – demystifying perceptions through transparent, common fact finding process – TDA is a technical/ not political documentStrategic Action Program: Formulate shared vision, reforms and investments to address priority concerns & opportunities; set targets, commitments to adaptive management institutions with adoption by ministers. Intensive consultations/stakeholder involvement in TDA and SAP development; other: M & E indicators; website development for transparency; portfolio experience sharing & learning 36 or so TDA; 30 SAPs>>> Besides – integrated multi-state approaches; innovation is another – if less frequent approach – e.g. Hai Basin – water efficiency and nutrient run-off redcution, way back: Lake Manzala – constructed wetland; …>>> now : next frontier _ increased private sector involvement – Carlsberg – water savings in supply chain – water footprinting, Romania investment fund – on-lending to buy down costs of innovative technologies etc.
Always supported balance of competing needs, but Nexus Approach is a special opportunity for other Sectors Being in drivers Seat- more than IWRM to get ‘non water players’ to be involved; implications e.g. for governance of basin institutions- spec. greater involvement of MoFinance, Development, Planning..- bring nature in the nexus- closer ties between water-body based institution and other regional development processes & institutions
Common fact finding and knowledge can be a game changer (anchored in TDA/SAP approach); promote within-project science advisory panels and science-policy for aDid successful River Basin and some unique GW projects - now: conjunctive management needed – see Iullemeden project – learned that Niger is the major outlet for groundwater and at same time increased move to irrigated agriculture in West Africa – next project will combine approachesOUT OF THE WATER BOX : Supporting green growth/green economy through delivery on Water-Food-Energy-Ecosystem Nexus - More than IWRM to get ‘non water players’ to be involved; implications e.g. for governance of basin institutions- Spec. greater involvement of MoFinance, Development, Planning..- Bring nature in the nexusCloser ties between water-body based institutions and other regional development processes & institutions
Hypocixa- reduce lb nutrient pollution; transform way nutrients are managed – incentives – working with private setcor – looking at nutrinetprocution and utilization – innovative policy, economic, financial tools – STAP Hypoxia report has been instrumentalCoastal habitats – 20 % of mangroves have been lost since 1980; 19 % of coral reefs have disappeared – and IPCC reports on impacts on CC are friegtheningGEF – substantially support further loss and degradation of coastal habitats; ICM as a useful tool. Both working with public and private sectorsSustainable fisheries – 19 % of all marine fish stocks have been overexploited, IUU catches alone are equivalent to about one-fitfth of reported global catch.Ecosystems based approaches, e.g. scaling up rights based management as one way to assure local access to coastal communities , sustainbalemariculture and MPAs as appropriate to local governance. Restructure fisheries management increase economic output, improve livelihoods, and food security aligning socio-economic incentives of fishermen and local fishing communities with the health of fish stocks. Sustainable fisheries in 20 % of globally depleted fisheries
Signature Program - Rebuilding Global Fisheries – global transformation of the fisheries sector, improved fisheries management systems, introducing sustainable fishing practices into globally depleted fisheries, improved monitoring and enforcement, scaling up of rights-based approaches, expansion of MPAs
