Objective:
Seek feedback from the portfolio on the direction of the GEF IW learning approach developed over the past decade
Key questions for session:
•How can GEF IW projects benefit from “learning projects”?•What are the learning needs of the GEF IW portfolio?
Desired outcome:
Further development of the GEF IW approach to experience Sharing and learning in response to project needs
GEF IW Experience Sharing and Learning Portfolio
Legal and Institutional Frameworks Project in Transboundary Waters
Management
Richard Kyle PaisleyRichard Kyle Paisley
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada
This project is dedicated to facilitating good governance and more effective decision making in international waters through the identification, collection, adaptation and replication of beneficial practices and lessons learned from international experiences. The project facilitates dialogue among individuals and organizations engaged in governance within and between freshwater, groundwater, marine international waters with particular emphasis on “South-South” cooperation and learning.

• Reduce nutrient loading
• Link to GEF/WB projects in the region
• Ensure sustainable BMPS
• Build a model for funding and replication in the CEE

A Framework for Action
Geographic Scope
Impact: Investment Fund for Nutrient Reduction
• Challenges: Inappropriate storage of livestock manure, plowing that favors erosion and other poor agricultural practices
• BMPs: Effective use of fertilizer, crop rotation, improved grazing practices
• Outcomes: Direct impact in 2008 includes reduced N 102.5 T and P 79 T
Case Study: Moldova APCP
• Help meet sustainability & replication requirements
• Demonstrating select best practices
• Leveraging partnerships to increase impact
• Transferring knowledge about your projects and practices directly to policy makers
What’s In It for You?
• We need your help:– Practices
– Their definition
– Why they worked or did not
– Any lessons learned
– Impact (N,P reductions)
Conclusion: What Can You Do?

Pollution Reduction through Improved Municipal Wastewater Management in Coastal Cities with a
Focus on SIDS
Delivering training courses on
• Objective oriented-planning
• Innovative technological and financial approaches
• Systematic stakeholder involvement
Achievements
• 1.800 Alumni from 67 countries, multiple languages, web tutorial
Lessons learned – way forward
• Targeting different levels of management
• Advocacy for new ideas (re-use of wastewater, ecosan, constructed wetlands)
• Foster South-South knowledge exchange (IW:LEARN)
• Learning by doing: demonstration projects
• Training should contribute to other GEF projects
• Embed training in local and national structures
Challenges
• How to increase integration with other GEF projects
• How to ensure better integration with government-run training programmes
• How to promote change of budgeting systems towards transparent multi-year financial planning?

Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme
Medium Size GEF Project, two years, involves: • Develop assessment methodologies for five water systems based on indicators • Identify of information sources and assessment units
• Development of a strategy and practical arrangements for carrying out such an assessment.
Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme
Deliverables:
• Science –based methodologies for assessing major transboundary systems ( water concerns, assessment units, linkages among water systems, data needs and gaps)
• Set of indicators for use in water systems
assessment ( state, stress reduction, process)
• Open forum on TWAP website for dialog between projects during development, drafts are available
• http://www.twap.iwlearn.org
