UNDP/GEF Danube Regional Project: Strengthening the Implementation Capacities for Nutrient Reduction and Transboundary Cooperation in the Danube River Basin
Since 1991, efforts had been underway with European Union (EU) and GEF support to gradually reverse this situation in the Danube and the Black Sea Basin. Initial efforts focused on the Environmental Programme for the Danube River Basin (EPDRB) established in September 1991, geared to restore and protect the Danube River through a ‘Danube Environmental Programme’ and the eventual development of the ‘Danube River Protection Convention (DRPC)’. Soon after, the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) was created to provide a regional approach to managing the Danube Basin. The project “Developing the Danube River Basin Pollution Reduction Program” (DPRP) represented the 1997-99 GEF contribution to phase two of the EPDRB. The DPRP supported the activities of the ICPDR and implementation of the DRPC. Key outputs included the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) to obtain a complete knowledge base for priority pollution loads and environmental issues in the Danube Basin and a revised Strategic Action Plan prepared as a review of policies for the protection of the Danube Basin.
