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.
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.
FileTransboundary Diagnostic Analysis for Mediterranean Sea
The purpose of conducting a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) is to scale the relative importance of sources and causes, both immediate and root, of transboundary ‘waters’ problems, and to identify potential preventive and remedial actions. The TDA provides the technical basis for refinement of both the National Action Plans (NAPs) and the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) in the area of international waters of the GEF.
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.

FileDanube Regional Project - Updated Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (2006)
This updated Transboundary Analysis (based largely on the findings of the 2005 Danube River Analysis) identified four key concerns that are a priority for the Danube River Basin and the impact of the Danube River on the Black Sea. • Nutrient Pollution – potentially leading to over enrichment by nutrients and eutrophic conditions. The main sources were identified as point emissions (both municipal wastewater and industrial discharges) and diffuse sources, predominately from agriculture. • Organic Pollution – potentially leading to low dissolved oxygen levels in the receiving water. The main sources were identified as inadequate wastewater treatment from municipalities and from diffuse sources. • Hazardous substances – potentially leading to environmentally toxic conditions. The main sources were identified as industrial (both active and from previous industrial sites) and accidental pollution from shipping or mining activities. • Hydromorphological Alterations – that have led to a loss of wetlands, impact on natural aquatic conditions and present migration barriers for fish. Hydromorphological alterations are the result of engineering works in rivers and lakes for navigation, hydropower generation, flood prevention, etc. The main focus of the GEF interventions in the Danube River Basin have been directed towards nutrient pollution and its reduction. This is reflected in the level of information on this specific topic in this updated Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis.
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.
FileMediterranean Action Plan-TDA
The Mediterranean countries, recognized that there is a need for a coordinated and innovative approach for the implementation of policy reforms, priority interventions and investments that address transboundary pollution and biodiversity conservation priorities identified in the two SAPs and the NAPs. Accordingly, they have agreed on a collective effort for the protection of the environmental resources of the Mediterranean, the Strategic Partnership for the Mediterranean Sea Large Marine Ecosystem, led by UNEP and the World Bank, co-funded by the GEF and involving other relevant agencies, IFIs and bilateral and multilateral donors. The Partnership will serve as a catalyst in leveraging policy/legal/institutional reforms as well as additional investments for reversing degradation of the Mediterranean Sea Basin, with its coastal habitats and marine living resources.
