Toolkit for Harmonising and Enhancing Laws and Institutions to Implement IWCAM (Draft Document III)

The Toolkit is intended to be both an educational guide, a reference document or as a series of stand-alone modules. It can be used to introduce newcomers to integrated watershed and coastal area management systems. It can also be used by practitioners such as planners, developers and water managers as a reference source for case studies and model laws.

The GEF “Integrating Watershed and Coastal Areas Management Project” (GEF-IWCAM) Project focuses on the demonstration of effective comprehensive, integrated watershed and coastal area management systems, based on an intersectoral management approach, in several Caribbean islands. This Legal and Institutional Toolkit is designed and structured as an evolving tool to assist legal practitioners, legislative draftsmen and policy makers in making the changes to the existing legal and institutional framework that will result in the improvement of governance of water resources in their countries. The Toolkit is based on the results of a GEF- IWCAM project activity to prepare national legal inventories of laws and institutions involved in integrating watershed and coastal areas management.
