Page Background

The following information is an overview of the project

categories and doesn’t holistically represent the entire cohort

of the UNEP GEF projects.

Pillars

1. Tools and methodologies

2. Integrated Approaches

3. Innovative Initiatives

4. Ridge to Reef

Most IW projects adopt a two-step approach; (1) Trans-

boundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA), identifying priority

transboundary environmental concerns, and their root

causes, and a (2) Strategic Action Programme (SAP) to provide

improved access to environmental data and information, and

help increase governments’ capacity to use such information

in making decisions and planning action for sustainable

human development through an array of actions. UNEP has

also been instrumental in developing and testing policy

tools and innovative approaches to sustainably manage

environmental issues. IW has built a substantial portfolio of

projects which is valued at more than $120 million with active

projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean with

a series of global methodology projects.
