Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses

Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses are science-based analyses of transboundary water-related concerns and opportunities that exist in multi-country surface water, ground water, and coastal/marine water systems. They are used to identify priorities for joint action, root causes and scope for the concerns or opportunities, and serve as the basis for reforms and investments included in the action programmes.

FileOkavango River Basin Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis(TDA). 2009
The transboudary diagnostic assessment (TDA) for the Delta part of the Okavango River Basin (ORB) was based on the extensive research and planning outputs of the ODMP process which was completed in 2006. For this reason the TDA process adopted all the ODMP stakeholder participation processes including decisions made regarding methodology, context and spatial extent of the planning area. This paper describes the ODMP stakeholder process as a proxy for the TDA consultation process. It is important to note that during the TDA process consultation was extended with two stakeholder workshops and briefing meetings for the Okavango Wetland management Committee (OWMC) dedicated specifically towards creating awareness and seeking stakeholder participation in the TDA process.
FileDRAFT Caribbean Large Marine Ecosystem Regional Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
May 2011 This report is the revised and updated Regional TDA based on TDAs of three fisheries ecosystems of regional significance: the reef, pelagic and continental shelf fisheries ecosystems. This Regional TDA (supported by the three fisheries TDAs and a regional governance analysis) will serve as the science basis for development of an agreed program of interventions including fisheries management reforms, conservation measures and pollution control. A Strategic Action Programme (SAP) with a shared vision for the CLME will be developed, and required priority interventions, reforms and investments to address the main transboundary problems agreed to. To assist this process, the project will create an integrated information management system bringing together congruent fisheries, biological, pollution and socio-economic data and information as a powerful management tool. Similarly, a monitoring and evaluation framework within a Regional Monitoring Environmental Programme will be developed. Pilot projects and case studies on specific transboundary fisheries (spiny lobster, reef, flyingfish, large pelagic and, shrimp and groundfish fisheries) will trial governance models at the local, national and subPage 9 regional levels and provide additional knowledge on means of applying ecosystem based approaches to fisheries management and determining the fisheries‘ socio-economic importance and sensitivities.
FileRegional Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis of the Lake Victoria Basin
The Regional Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (RTDA) covers the Lake Victoria Basin in the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. The analysis was conducted between June 2006 and March 2007 and was based on critical reviews of National Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses (NTDAs) carried out by the five East African Partner States between February and June 2006. In addition, the analysis was informed through various relevant works and documents, including literature and knowledge accumulated through the implementation of the 1st phase of the Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project (LVEMP I) and East African Community (EAC) policy and development documents, among others. To enhance ownership, consensus building and enrichment of the process, a series of consultative workshops were held across the region. The transboundary water-related problems and issues that affect sustainable development in the lake Victoria Basin, as identified based on the three pillars – Economic, Social and Ecological, are presented and discussed under six thematic areas in this report. The thematic areas are: land use and land degradation; water quality and pollution; water quantity and water balance; fisheries decline and biodiversity; governance of environmental resources; and socioeconomic and cross cutting issues. The discussions focus on the major threats to the natural resource base, major causes, socioeconomic impacts and the proposed mitigation measures.
FileTransboundary Diagnostic Analysis of Land-based Sources and Activities in the Western Indian Ocean Region (2009)
This document presents the results of a series of investigations and expert analyses relating to land-based sources of pollution and other activities that cause the degradation of the coastal and marine environment in the West Indian Ocean (WIO). More specifically, it identifies those elements that may induce impacts beyond national boundaries or that are problems common to several countries of the region. Collectively, this represents a Transboundary Analysis (TDA); a decision support tool intended to inform countries in the WIO region with regard to priority issues and problems to be addressed within the context of immediate and long-term sustainable management of the WIO coastal and marine ecosystems. In this regard, the TDA forms the basis for the development of a comprehensive Strategic Action Programme (SAP) for addressing landbased sources and activities.
FileLake Tanganyika - Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
Lake Tanganyika was formed about 12 million years in ago, and as a result of this time-scale is ecologically very different from modern lakes formed by glaciers within the last 12,000 years. During this long period of isolation, the early colonisers of Lake Tanganyika have undergone some spectacular evolutionary productions.
FilePreliminary TDA for CCLME
A Preliminary Trans-boundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) to identify and analyse trans-boundary issues affecting the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME) project was completed at a workshop held at Hotel Ocean, Yoff, Dakar, Senegal, from 18 to 20 July 2006.

FileNATIONAL REPORT OF MALAYSIA On the Formulation of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis And Preliminary Framework of a Strategic Action Programme for the Bay of Bengal
The aim of the national report is to review existing information on the use of, and threats to, the Malaysian coastal and marine resources off the Straits of Malacca and the adjacent waters of the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean. In the process, an attempt is made to identify, examine, and rank those threats that have transboundary effects on man and the environment and to determine information gaps that need to be addressed for integrated management of coastal and marine resources in the region.
FileLake Shkoder Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
World Bank (IBRD) 20 April 2006 In this TDA an inventory of the available environmental data is made. The state of the environment, its use, and their developments were assessed in Lake Shkoder and its watershed, based on the data collected. The environmental pressures and threats to the lake and its basin have been identified and partly quantified. Finally, a set-up for a bilateral management strategy, including goals and approaches to address the identified problems, and some proposals for investment options are presented.

FileOrange-Senqu River Basin: Preliminary Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis
Adopted by ORASECOM in April 2008, the GEF IW TDA/SAP “best practice” approach underpins the methodology used in the development of the Orange-Senqu River Basin TDA. Consequently the methodology for the TDA consists of the following steps: • Identification and initial prioritisation of transboundary problems • Gathering and interpreting information on environmental impacts and socio-economic consequences of each problem • Causal chain analysis (including root causes) • Completion of an analysis of institutions, laws, policies and projected investments. It focuses on transboundary problems without ignoring national concerns and priorities and identifies information gaps, policy distortions and institutional deficiencies. The analysis is cross-sectoral and examines national economic development plans, civil society (including private sector) awareness and participation, the regulatory and institutional framework and sectoral economic policies and practices. Causal Chain Analysis (CCA) is one of the most useful aspects of the TDA for the development of future corrective actions. The causal chain should relate the transboundary problems with their impacts, immediate physical causes and their social and economic underlying root causes.
FileBlack Sea Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis 2007
This report represents the second Black Sea transboundary diagnostic analysis (TDA), the first of which was produced in 1996. It assesses the environmental status of the Sea, focusing on the major transboundary problems, their causes and what should be done to improve its status in the future. The structure and content of this document are different to that of the 1996 TDA, since guidance on TDA production has changed in the intervening years and instead of the original seven major transboundary problems, it now focuses on only four: • Eutrophication/nutrient enrichment • Changes in marine living resources • Chemical pollution (including oil) • Biodiversity/habitat changes, including alien species introduction For each of these a causal chain analysis is included, to assist in the identification of solutions for each of the problems. The emphasis of this document is on changes that have occurred since the original TDA was produced. However, socio-economic developments and environmental data over a longer period of time are also considered to place the current status in context, and describe the reasons underlying changes observed.
