Between 2003-2004 a Participatory Strategy for the Sustainable Development of the Sixaola River Basin is formulated. As a result of the strategy, the Project “Integrated Ecosystem Management in the Sixaola River Basin” is formulated through a highly participatory process which included most relevant actors. In 2008 the Project is approved by both Governments and supported by GEF/IDB. 2009, The Binational Sixaola River Basin Commission is appointed.
