Diagnostic Analysis of the São Francisco River Basin and its Coastal Zone - DAB
- The São Francisco river Basin possesses a strategic location because it constitutes a territory which makes a natural connection between the Southwest, the most developed region of Brazil, and the Northeast, considered to be in a less advanced state of development. Causal Chain - Insuficiency of Water for Multiple Uses

Strategic Action Program for the Integrated Management of the São Francisco River Basin and its Coastal Zone (SAP) Executive summary
- The SAP is the outcome of the first stage of the Project for the Integrated Management of Land-based Activities in the São Francisco River Basin, approved by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in 1998. Known locally as the GEF São Francisco Project, the project was prepared between July and November 2003. It is based upon the Diagnostic Analysis of the Basin (DAB) and its prepara- tion involved intense public participation and discus- sions within the scope of the São Francisco River Basin Committee (CBHSF), involving more than 12,000 people and 404 institutions.

Albania - Integrated Water Ecosystem Management Project : environmental assessment (Vol. 1 of 2) : Environmental impact assessment
- This environmental assessment for the Albania Integrated Water Ecosystem Management Project outlines expected negative environmental impacts and proposed mitigations. To ensure maintenance of water quality, levels, and water flows, as well as ecological balance, specific indices will be monitored periodically. Also to reduce the risk of water contamination, protect the constructed treatment wetlands (CTW) by a flood protection dyke; remove topsoil before construction and substitute impervious clay liners to protect groundwater; and follow procedures for sludge removal and disposal. To protect biodiversity, habitats, and rare species, prepare a comprehensive monitoring program and set guidelines for contractors.

Transboundary Lake Basin Management: Laurentian and African Great Lakes
- The Great Lakes systems in Africa and North America are an invaluable resource for freshwater, biological diversity and natural beauty. Equally important is their role in sustaining human populations surrounding them. That multiple countries share these lake systems within their respective boundaries makes a great challenge for balancing human development needs against ecosystem protection and restoration. A number of multinational governance systems are designed to grapple with these challenges.

Successful Twinning: A Model - Lessons Learned
- The Lake Victoria Fisheries Organization (LVFO) and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) have twinned for nearly two decades, to their mutual benefit. Lake Victoria and the Laurentian Great Lakes both have thriving freshwater fisheries and resident populations dependent on the resources for food and water.

Project Document
- The main objective of the project is to assist the Government of Albania in improving the management of uncontrolled wastewater discharging into international waters which is threatening the global significant ecosystems along the coastline of Albania. The project will contribute to increase global environmental benefits by: (i) reducing sewage pollution loads generated by urban settlement areas of the three coastal cities Durres, Lezha and Saranda and (ii) promoting and improving the management of the tidal Kune-Vain marshland (near Lezha).
