Activity E2: IW Contributions to Global TWM
EA/PAL: IW:LEARN PCU
OTHER PARTNERS: GEF Secretariat, selected GEF IW projects, EAA/FOP*, UNDP Video Productions, Gender and Water Alliance, IUCN, NOAA
DESCRIPTION
-
Promote GEF IW contributions to sustainable development and participation of GEF IW projects in broader TWM community.
-
This activity aims to increase the outreach and interactions between the GEF IW portfolio and the broader water resources, coastal and marine management and scientific community. An IATF selection of various sets of 3-4 projects will represent the GEF IW portfolio for at least 8 international freshwater and/or marine events – such as CSD-13, World Water Forum 4, the IWRA Congress, the World Bank’s Water Week or the 7th Environmental Management of Enclosed Coastal Seas (EMECS) Conference. At the SC discretion, IW:LEARN PCU may also help organize sessions or side-events where these projects present their experiences. The activity also supports stakeholder involvement in the GEF IW learning portfolio through generation of a small series of outreach materials to address common TWM issues and priority.
