Project breakdown Assigned 3-4 per person where expertise and experience – Will ask a fresh set of eyes to review as well Need to add additional expertise – Areas not covered – Issue areas not covered NAm Great Lakes Others to be strategically identified

Significance of regional and global issues Most of the lake basins problems have been worsened by climate change Problems are related to socio-economical features of the region Eutrophication is a common problem to all lakes but the causes are different Solutions are tailored according with specific conditions

Future activities Better highlight the best practices Assess the results of the closed projects in order to underline their sustainability Identify the approach issues which need improvement in future projects Identify emerging management issues Contribute to the learning network with a special section for decision makers

Stakeholder involvement Almost all projects have a component related to stakeholder involvement (users, public or NGOs) Sharing of information is essential Scientific information should be presented adequate to targeted stakeholder Establishing a framework for participation contribute to the success of policy implementation

Problems in lake management Fragmented approaches Lack of coordination across sectors Lack of monitoring and enforcement Different national interest in transboundary context Weak or non-existent institutions and legal framework

Management issues in GEF Lake basins projects Development of an institutional and legal framework Harmonization of policy at different levels Building or strengthening capacity Strengthening regional cooperation Public involvement (participation) Establishment of a monitoring and evaluation system

Role of the science within the projects Provide a background on the water environment Underline connections between causes and problems Provide innovative solutions (pilot projects) Provide a forecast on the impact of different options (modelling) Provide the scientific background for monitoring and assessment

Role of the TDA Some of the GEF projects on lake basins are based on a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (e.g. Lake Tanganika,2008) Integration of information (scientific, technical and socio-economic) Connect the environmental problems to causes Providing a tool for prioritization of action (Strategic Action Plan)
