This initiative would consist of development and translation of a training module and Other information and regional training on the establishment of import and export licensing systems For monitoring the control of ODSs. The short-term objective is to enhance the capacity of the national focal points to design and implement effective phase-out policies through training and regional cooperation among CEITs to decrease the incidence of illegal ODS trade. The long term Objective is to promote and facilitate an early elimination of use of ODS and compliance with the trade and licensing provision of the Montreal Protocol No publisher Damaris Waigwa ProjectDocument:ProjectBrief 2011-02-16T13:50:00Z File http://iwlearn.net/iw-projects/3809/project-documents/IW%203809%20Regional%20Red%20Sea%20PIF.pdf No publisher admin ProjectDocument:ProjectBrief 2010-10-07T13:14:04Z File http://iwlearn.net/iw-projects/1082/project_doc/07-20-05%20FinalSWIOFPGEFProjectBrief-7-20-05.pdf The SWIOFP is one of three closely linked projects. SWIOFP is the beneficiary of environmental data produced by the Agulhas and Somali Currents Large Marine Ecosystem Project (ASCLMEs) implemented by the UNDP, and the WIO-LaB Project which is implemented through UNEP in Nairobi. SWIOFP uses the outputs of these other related projects to produce a “Program level” outcome- an ecologically based series of regional or sub-regional fisheries management plans.

Within these watersheds, networks of minor valleys join into main valleys that ultimately drain into other water bodies (e.g., oceans, lakes, and rivers). Because some of the watersheds collect precipitation over large areas and channel it through a few main valleys, substantial amounts of freshwater could potentially recharge the alluvial aquifers flooring these main valleys during sporadic storms.

The distinctive bathymetry, hydrography, productivity and trophodynamics combine to make it a highly productive system with a mean annual productivity of 300g C/m2/yr.

The results are intended to benefit the international arctic environment, particularly the Arctic Ocean basin and its shelf seas, and contribute to two principal international agreements: the Arctic Council Plan of Action to Eliminate Pollution of the Arctic; and the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities (GPA) as implemented in the Arctic Region through the Arctic Regional Programme of Action and the Arctic Council Plan of Action to Eliminate Pollution of the Arctic (ACAP).

The Project's broad development objectives would be to assist the MRC to establish mechanisms to promote and improve coordinated and sustainable water management in the Basin, including reasonable and equitable water utilization and water quality management by the countries of the Basin and protection of sensitive ecological systems including wetlands, flooded forests and the estuary system that support globally significant bio-diversity.
