International Waters learning Exchange & Resource Network

Sustainable Development

Sustainable development underpins all GEF IW Projects. The goal of the International Waters focal area is the promotion of collective management for transboundary water systems and subsequent implementation of the full range of policy, legal, and institutional reforms and investments contributing to sustainable use and maintenance of ecosystem services. Furthermore, sustainable development is embedded in all 4 objectives of the IW focal area and thus the TDA/SAP Approach.
