The first workshop on the piloting of the new manual for the TDA/SAP methodology (Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis /Strategic Action Programme) was delivered by Dr. Martin Bloxham from the UK – the co-author of the new manual. The work was commissioned by the GEF International Waters Learning Exchange & Resource Network (IW:LEARN) project to receive feedback on the new manual designed to standardize the TDA-SAP approach. GEF IW:LEARN chose the HCLME project for this first pilot activity as it has just started activities within  the TDA-SAP process.
