1 GEF Integrating Water, Land & Ecosystems Management in Caribbean SIDS (successor to the GEF IWCAM Project) Caribbean Environmental Health Institute The Morne, Castries, SAINT LUCIA
2 About CEHI Technical Institution of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Established legally in 1989 to promote Caribbean Environmental Health Strategy Inter-Governmental 16 Member States
3 CEHI Mandate Agreement establishing CEHI 1989 provide technical advisory services to Member States in all areas of environmental management, including water supplies, liquid waste and excreta disposal, solid waste management, water resources management, coastal zone management including beach pollution, air pollution, occupational health, vector control, disaster prevention and preparedness, natural resources conservation, environmental institution development and the socio-economic aspects of environmental management
4 Integrating Water, Land & Ecosystems Management in Caribbean SIDS GEF-IWEco
5 GEF-IWEco - Rationale Degradation of Caribbean ecosystem resources Pressures of populations and demands on resource Vulnerabilities expanded due to climate change What is at stake? Biodiversity terrestrial and marine Water fresh and coastal Land GEF-IWCAM Project Provided sound base for piloting innovative approaches Blend of technological solutions and change in the practice of doing things; new approaches and/or renewing commitments Community level, regulatory level, policy level Support to ratification of the LBS Protocol
6 GEF-IWCAM - achievements
7 GEF-IWCAM - achievements
8 GEF-IWEco - Rationale Recognized need to build on the good work and lessons of the GEF-IWCAM project Successor project Implementing Integrated Water, Land, & Ecosystems Management in Caribbean SIDS: GEF-IWECO Project GEF Multi-focal area project International Waters (IW) Land Degradation (LD) Biodiversity (BD) Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Four year duration
9 GEF-IWEco - Objective Implementation of an integrated approach to water, land and ecosystems services management, supported by policy, institutional and legislative reforms, and implementation of effective appropriate technologies to accelerate contribution to global targets on access to safe and reliable water supplies and improved sanitation, and contributing to improved ecosystem functioning in the Caribbean.
10 GEF-IWEco IWEco Participating Countries Antigua & Barbuda Barbados Cuba Dominican Republic Grenada Jamaica Saint Kitts & Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent & the Grenadines Trinidad & Tobago
11 GEF-IWEco - Resources GEF : US$20,448,598 Estimated co-financing: US$118,006,108 Implementing agencies UNEP and UNDP Executing agencies CEHI and UNEP CAR/RCU
12 CarIWEco -Partners Related initiatives co-financing Implementing agencies National governments of the Caribbean Private Sector Academia Intergovernmental agencies Support agencies International governments NGOs
13 Project Component 1 Actions Wastewater management thematic area: Innovative solutions for management of untreated domestic/commercial/indus trial effluent that are impacting receiving freshwater and marine ecosystems. Innovative domestic and commercial/industrial effluent management systems Pollution control within agricultural production systems
14 Project Component 1 Actions Water security and improved sanitation thematic area: Innovative solutions for climate change-adaptive water supply augmentation and water use efficiency, water safety and improved sanitation. RWH systems installed for critically water-stressed communities; reducing risks / expanding water availability within water supply systems Investments in improved sanitation
15 Project Component 1 Actions Land and watershed restoration and ecosystem resilience thematic area: Innovative solutions for erosion control, agricultural non-point source pollution mitigation, land stabilization and runoff/flood control Upland, riparian, coastal ecosystem restoration and rehabilitation through reforestation and agro-forestry systems Carbon sequestration and carbon emission reductions. Watershed management plan development
16 Project Component 2 Actions Strengthening of the water, land and ecosystems Monitoring, and Indicators framework Regional/ national land, water, coastal zone and relevant biodiversity indicators frameworks based on the Cartagena Convention-LBS Protocol requirements, supporting global monitoring Strengthened national & regional capacity for monitoring.
17 Project Component 3 Actions Strengthening of the Policy, legislative and institutional reforms and capacity building for land, water and ecosystem services management taking into consideration climate change resilience building. Enhanced coordination among relevant sectors - climate change adaptation strategies. Strengthened policy and legislation responsive to climate change challenges Harmonized/mainstreamed national processes Strengthened national and regional institutions
18 Project Component 4 Actions Enhancing knowledge exchange, best-practices, replication and stakeholder involvement Strengthened network for exchange of best practices and lessons learned between other SIDS projects (Pacific and African regions) Empowered stakeholder engagement - Community of Practices (COP) and other appropriate mechanisms and tools. Enhanced networking for information sharing, enhanced inter- and intra-regional knowledge sharing and learning; Achieved gender mainstreaming
19 Global environmental benefits On-the-ground investments in improved practices, sustainable land and ecosystems management Regional approach - promote exchange of best practices in addressing priority concerns - within Caribbean Sea trans-boundary system water, land (forestry and coastal zone) biodiversity Preservation uniqueness of resources of the Caribbean Sea basin area with relatively high biological diversity - both in terms of terrestrial and marine ecosystems Contributions to global carbon sequestration Contribution to well-being of populations in the region through economic development and social security. support of Agenda 21 Chapters 17 and 18 as well as the MDGs and WSSD targets
20 Lessons from GEF-IWCAM Tracking of co-financing Whether indicators were SMART Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timely Private sector engagement Effectiveness of National Intersectoral Committees Strengthen engagement of financial institutions Political legitimacy within the CARICOM with reference to the Revise Treaty of Chaguaramas Engagement of the scientific community
21 GEF IWEco - GEF Sec Comments Challenge is to make it a truly Natural Resources Management (NRM) Project generating multi-focal area benefits with the watershed & Costal zones management plans as framework for other actions Alignment with the GEF focal areas: How actions to be undertaken are relevant for global sustainable land management/biodiversity are the sites of global significance? Need to identify threatened species (terrestrial/freshwater/marine) and associated habitats
22 GEF IWEco - GEF Sec Comments 3. Define how SLM/BD will be mainstreamed within watershed management and land use plans Describe the relationship between economic sectors & SLM/BD/SFM Will the project support adoption of SLM, BD & SFM-friendly economic activities such as certified crops, ecotourism etc. 4. Alignment of proposed actions with national strategies and plans (e.g. NAPs, NBSAPs)
23 GEF IWEco Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) Comments Indicators Indicators to be inline with the FA strategy indicators Indicators that integrate multiple processes of change in status of land and water to enable tracking of impacts & key global benefits Baseline foundational achievements IWCAM & LBS protocol Need to demonstrate the gap filling strategy Emphasize the strategic context not piece meal actions
24 GEF IWEco Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) Comments In component 2 (Ecosystem long-term monitoring & indicator framework), how would non participating SIDS be engaged? Need to strengthen the financial analysis, incentive and intervention options Stressed the importance of engaging with the private sector and key ministries such as Min. of Finance as well as the need to look at payments for environmental services.
25 Moving forward National consultations September 2012 to February 2013 National project development Replicating best practices; strengthening existing integrated approaches Regional component development in support of national projects Regional stakeholders planning workshop Final reviews Gain common understanding on implementation modalities, ensure congruence with other regional actions, strengthen regional coordination March 2013 Submission - approval Reviews; STAP and GEF Sec through April; approval in May 2013 Start-up within 3 rd quarter of 2013?
