UNEP/MAP GEF / MedPartnership: The Presentation

Ivica Trumbic Project Manager

BACKGROUND AND HISTORY BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

• The MedPartnership is a continuation of (and builds upon) the

previous GEF Project run by UNEP/MAP. This project reviewed and updated the existing TDA and designed/elaborated two and updated the existing TDA and designed/elaborated two SAPs

– Strategic Action Program to address pollution from land‐based activities (SAP‐ MED) and – Strategic Action Program for the Conservation of Mediterranean Marine and Coastal Biological Diversity (SAP‐ BIO). g y ( )

• The two SAPs were formally adopted by the Contracting

Parties of the Barcelona Convention and were ready for implementation through MedPartnership

MEDPARTNERSHIP AND THE BARCELONA MEDPARTNERSHIP AND THE BARCELONA CONVENTION

• Barcelona Convention offers strategic and

l l f k f M dP t hi ti iti legal framework for MedPartnership activities

• MedPartnership focused on results which

would be instrumental for the achievement of the objectives of Barcelona Convention j

• The above are the reasons why the Project

Management Unit (PMU) is located in Management Unit (PMU) is located in UNEP/MAP

protection of the environmental resources of the Mediterranean Mediterranean

• It is led by UNEP/MAP and the World Bank, co‐

funded by GEF and involving other relevant funded by GEF and involving other relevant international cooperation Agencies, International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and bilateral and Financial Institutions (IFIs) and bilateral and multilateral donors.

PARTNERSHIP PARTNERSHIP

• Relationship of two or more entities

conducting business for mutual benefit

• Partnership is a voluntary collaborative

agreement between two or more parties in g p which all participants agree to work together to achieve a common purpose or undertake a to achieve a common purpose or undertake a specific task and to share risks, resources, responsibilities, competencies, information responsibilities, competencies, information and benefits

MEDPARTNERSHIP’S LONG TERM GOALS MEDPARTNERSHIP S LONG‐TERM GOALS

to assist countries in the implementation of the Strategic Action Programmes and National Action Plans to reduce pollution from land based sources and preserve the pollution from land‐based sources, and preserve the biodiversity and ecosystems of the Mediterranean from degradation; g ; to assist countries in the implementation of the ICZM Protocol; to leverage long‐term financing, and to ensure through the Barcelona Convention and MAP g systems the sustainability of activities initiated within the project beyond its specific lifetime.

Objectives of the UNEP/MAP led Objectives of the UNEP/MAP led Regional Project are

• to promote and induce harmonized policy, legal and

institutional reforms

• to fill the knowledge gap aimed at reversing marine and

coastal degradation trends and living resources depletion in coastal degradation trends and living resources depletion, in accordance with priorities agreed by the countries in the SAP MED and SAP BIO, and

• to prepare the ground for the future implementation of the

ICZM Protocol.

b f h ld k l d Objective of the World Bank led Investment Fund is

to accelerate the implementation of transboundary

Investment Fund is

p y pollution reduction and biodiversity conservation measures in priority hotspots and sensitive areas of selected countries of the Mediterranean basin that would help achieve the SAP MED and SAP BIO targets.
