INTRODUCTION
The production of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) followed by a Strategic
Action Programme (SAP) is a requirement for most OP8 and OP9 projects proposed for
financing in the GEF IW Focal Area.
A TDA is an objective, non-negotiated assessment using best available verified scientific
information to examine the state of the environment and the root causes for its
degradation. The analysis is carried out in a cross sectoral manner, focusing on
transboundary issues without ignoring national concerns and priorities. It provides the
factual basis for the formulation of a Strategic Action Programme, which embodies
specific actions (policy, legal, institutional reforms or investments) that can be adopted
nationally, usually within a harmonized multinational context, to address the major
priority transboundary concern(s), and over the longer term restore or protect a specific
body of water or transboundary ecosystem.
In 2001, the GEF commissioned a comprehensive programme of study for its Operation
Programmes 8 and 9. The Programme Study found that the emphasis on undertaking a
science-based TDA prior to the design of a Strategic Action Programme was appropriate
for projects in these Operational Programs. In addition, the Programme Study found that
there were a variety of ways in which a TDA could be conducted. Some were more
resource-intensive than others, but usually offered advantages in providing greater insight
and specificity, thereby providing an improved information base for the formulation of
the SAP. However, it also concluded that there was the need for more GEF guidance
regarding the nature of TDAs and the manner in which they lead to, and are distinct from,
the development of SAPs.
A further exhaustive Programme Study was commissioned by GEF in 2005, which found
that although the TDA/SAP process was gradually improving, there were still projects
that failed to distinguish between global and local benefits (a fundamental tenet of GEF).
3
Furthermore many did not identify social or economic root causes of transboundary
problems and failed to identify or incorporate stakeholders.
As a consequence of this, GEF, together with its implementing agencies (UNDP, UNEP
and World Bank), have developed a set of more formal guidelines to assist with the
preparation of a TDA and formulation of a Strategic Action Programme.
As a part of the requirements for most International Waters (IW) projects (which is the
production of a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) followed by a Strategic
Action Programme (SAP)), the Regional Training Workshop on TDA and SAP was
organized by the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME) Project to cross
check the adopted and content achieved in the development of its TDA which was
already at an advanced stage.
2.
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the Training Workshop was to strengthen the capabilities of both
individuals and institutions involved in the GCLME Project, as a means for a more
effective implementation of the strategies and procedures set up by Global Environment
Facility (GEF) International Waters authorities at both local and regional levels.
3.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS
· Greater insight into the TDA/ SAP development process attained.
· Standardized procedures and formats for development of TDA/ SAP established.
4.
PARTICIPANTS
36 participants from all 16 countries of the GCLME took part in the Training Workshop.
The full list of participants is attached in annex C.

OPENING CEREMONY
The Regional Training Workshop on TDA and SAP of the Guinea Current Large Marine
Ecosystem Project was officially opened on 19th August 2005 at 10:00 am in the
Conference Room of the Regional Coordination Unit, Accra.
In attendance were experts in various disciplines drawn from the 16 member countries of
the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME) region who were invited in their
personal capacity, Cooperating Agencies, UN and non-UN Systems and other
stakeholders. Also in attendance was Dr. Lanto Harding, representing Dr. Kofi Konadu
Apraku, Hon. Minister for Regional Cooperation and NEPAD, Ghana, and Madam
Kadiatou N'Diaye, Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of
Guinea.
Mr. Edward Osei Nsenkyire, Chief Director of the Ministry of Environment and Science
and GCLME National Project Director, Ghana, chaired the opening ceremony. He
welcomed the participants and invited them to enjoy the legendary Ghanaian hospitality.
He stated that an important target of the first year of the GCLME Project implementation
identified in the project document is the completion of the Transboundary Diagnostic
Analysis as a vital step to the development of a Strategic Action Program.
The Regional Director of the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project, Prof.
Chidi Ibe thanked the Chairman, the Executive Director of the Environmental Protection
Agency, Mr. Jonathan Allotey and other dignitaries for the honor of their presence. He
welcomed the participants and especially the Secretary General of the Ministry of
Environment of the Republic of Guinea to the Workshop. He stated that the involvement
of NEPAD was due to the multidisciplinary nature of the project and the search for a
regional analysis and resolution of common problems stating that the updating of the
TDA was crucial to the development of the SAP. He thanked participants for the various
contributions they have made towards the smooth take-off of the project and solicited
their continuous support in the years ahead.
5
Mme Kadiatou N'Diaye, Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment of Guinea,
thanked the chairman, the Regional Director and participants for the opportunity to make
a statement. She said it was a pleasure for her and her team from Guinea to participate in
the Workshop. She stated that issues relating to the Guinea Current were major
preoccupations of her Ministry and Country. She pledged their commitment to work
closely with all parties involved in the Project.
Dr. Lanto Harding, Director of Policy Formulation and Analysis of the Ministry for
Regional Cooperation and NEPAD, rendered an apology on behalf of the Minister for his
inability to attend and delivered the Minister's speech. In his statement, the Hon. Minister
indicated his interest in the GCLME Project because of its multinational and
transboundary nature. He stated that the Training Workshop was a clear manifestation of
the Accra Declaration (1998) and the expected outputs attest to that. In conclusion, the
Minister assured the gathering of the Ministry's support for the GCLME Project.

ORGANIZATION OF THE SESSION
a. Course Content
In conjunction with the formalized GEF IW TDA/SAP "best practice" approach, a
training course was funded by GEF/UNDP under the UN/TRAIN-SEA-COAST
Programme and developed by the Marine and Coastal Policy Research Group based at
the University of Plymouth, UK. The complete training course consists of 6 modules that
cover the entire TDA/SAP process. These are:
Module 1:
Overview of the TDA/SAP Process
Module 2:
The Project Development Phase and Planning the TDA/SAP
Module 3:
Joint fact finding 1: Identification and prioritization of Transboundary
issues and the determination of environmental and socio-economic
effects
Module 4:
Joint fact finding 2: Causal chain and governance analysis, integration
6
of the TDA and submission for final approval
Module 5:
Formulating the SAP: Development of a long-term vision, preparing
and assessing the acceptability of the options, setting targets and
drafting the action programmes
Module 6:
Governance analysis and stakeholder involvement
b. Adaptation of the Training Course Materials to the Specific Case of the
GCLME
Prior to the delivery of the training course in Accra, the course materials were adapted to
the specific needs of the GCLME Project where appropriate. This process was carried out
in consultation with the GCLME Regional Coordination Unit. Consequently, Module 2
(project development and planning) was not presented. The Workshop programme is
shown in Annex A.
c. Course Presentation
The trainer, Dr. M. J. Bloxham presented the course in English with simultaneous
translation into French. Each participant was given a set of course materials consisting of
all the modules in English or French. The activities that were undertaken during the
training week are outlined below:
· A Training Manual was given to each participant prior to the delivery of each
module. These guided the learning process and provided additional information.
· Each module was presented to the Group using PowerPoint slides.
· Active participation and group discussions were encouraged throughout the
training sessions.
· At pre-determined stages during the delivery, participants were asked to
participate in individual progress tests and group exercises, for which ample time
was provided.
· Each participant was presented with an electronic version (either CD-ROM or on
individual memory sticks) of the complete Training Course (including all the
7
PowerPoint presentations, Training Manuals, supporting material and Case
Studies).
7.
KEY OUTCOMES
The TDA/SAP component concentrated on the key elements of the TDA/SAP process.
Each Module was divided into 2 components. The first outlined the general principles
that underpin it and the second described the key steps towards the development of the
TDA and formulation of the SAP.
Module 1 provided an overview of the whole process, including a short discussion on the
GEF, its guiding principles, project funding opportunities and where the TDA and SAP
fit into the GEF project cycle. It also highlighted the importance of stakeholder
involvement and intersectoral co-ordination.
Modules 3 and 4 concentrated on the development of the TDA. Module 3 described the
identification of transboundary environmental problems, approaches used to prioritize
such problems, and the analysis of environmental impacts and socio-economic
consequences. Module 4 focused on the principles and approaches used to develop causal
chains, the importance of governance analysis and advice on how to draft the TDA.
Module 5 concentrated on the formulation of the SAP. In particular, it highlighted the
importance of bridging the objective findings of the TDA and the sustainable and
politically acceptable solutions that ultimately shape the SAP.
The final module (Module 6) presented a further discussion on the importance of
stakeholder consultation and participation in the whole process and a detailed discussion
on the three aspects of governance analysis (stakeholder, institutional and legal/policy).

This evaluation is in line with previous evaluations carried out for the TDA/SAP Training
Course Validation Exercise (3-9 October 2004) and the Okavango River Basin Training
Course (9-14 May 2005).
9.
PROBLEMS
· The Francophone participants felt that there were some difficulties with the
translation of certain terminologies from English to French. In addition, the
Francophone versions of the course materials were, in a few cases, not complete.
· Regarding the material, it was felt that the Socio-Economic component could
have been better presented, although the participants understood that this was not
the specialization of the trainer.
10. RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the delivery of the training course, the following recommendations were made
by both the participants and the Trainer:
· Abridged versions of the course materials should be made available to the
participants prior to the delivery of the course.
· Translated Training Manuals should be carefully edited to eliminate errors.
· There should be more than one trainer to ease the workload of the trainer and
increase the interest of the participants.
· Materials are needed to identify more practical ways of mainstreaming the various
policy, institutional and legal frameworks.
· There is the need to draw from more African examples of TDAs and SAPs.
· More exercises should be provided to back up the presentations.
· The case study material should be offered in paper form, rather than on CD ROM.
· The course should be given over a longer period, run as 2 separate courses, or
reduced in size.
12
11. CLOSING CEREMONY
The closing ceremony was performed by the Hon. Minister for Environment and Science,
Ms. Christine Churcher and chaired by Prof. Babajide Alo, Chairman of the TDA Task
Team. The Chairman informed the Hon. Minister that at the end of the Training Course,
both the participants and the Trainer concluded that the approaches adopted thus far in
the development of the GCLME TDA which is at an advanced stage matched almost
precisely those described during the Course.
Also in attendance was the Hon. Deputy Minister for Environment and Science, Dr.
Gheysika Adombere Agambila and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment
of the Republic of Guinea, Madam Kadiatou N'Diaye. The Hon. Minister, the Regional
Director and the Training Consultant made informal closing statements following which
the Hon. Minister declared the Training Course ended.

ANNEX A
KEYNOTE ADDRESS BY THE MINISTER FOR REGIONAL COOPERATION
AND NEPAD, HON. KOFI KONADU APRAKU, MP
Mr. Chairman,
Regional Director of GCLME Project,
Distinguished Workshop participants,
Representatives of Ministries, Departments and Agencies,
Distinguished Members of the Press,
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is an honour and privilege to be invited to open this very important Training Workshop
on Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis and Strategic Action Programme.
For sometime now the Ghanaian Media has been featuring the Guinea Current Large
Marine Ecosystem Project and its activities. Personally, I have been attracted by the
Transboundary nature of the project, stretching from Guinea Bissau and Angola.
As Minister in charge of Regional Cooperation and NEPAD, I am particularly attracted
by the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis which involves the identification of root
causes and impacts of environmental resource management problems mostly at the
regional level and the socio-economic, political and institutional context within which
they occur. I am also informed that the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis provides a
basis for the formulation of a regional Strategic Action Programme (SAP), which defines
strategies, and actions to address the Transboundary issues.
Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
My attention has been drawn to the Accra Declaration on the Environmentally
Sustainable Development of the Large Marine Ecosystem of the Gulf of Guinea.
In the declaration, the Ministers of Environment of Benin, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire,
Ghana, Togo and Nigeria stated among other things their conviction of the validity of the
14
integrated and sustainable management of the Large Marine Ecosystem to the resolution
of problems, including strengthening regional cooperation and development, as well as
establishing linkages between local, regional and global decision-making. The resolution
of the problems of the Large Marine Ecosystem is unachievable without these linkages.
Mr. Chairman,
The Ministers also believed that the regional networking was an essential component of
the system of ocean and coastal governance for the present and years to come. The
Ministers declared, among other things, that the transfer of knowledge and experiences
among the countries of the Gulf of Guinea Large Marine Ecosystem through the
consolidation of networks for joint monitoring, research and capacity building in the field
of marine environmental and natural resource management should be enhanced.
Mr. Chairman, Distinguished ladies and Gentlemen,
This Training Workshop is a clear manifestation of the Accra declaration issued some
seven years ago. The expected outputs of this Workshop, which are:
· Greater insight into the TDA/SAP development process attained, and
· Standardized procedures and formats for development of TDA/SAP established
attest to this.
One of the key focus areas for the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD),
the development framework adopted by the African Union, is environmentally
sustainable development. Noting that at the heart of NEPAD is good governance in all
spheres of socio-economic development, I wish to take this opportunity to assure you all
that the Ministry of Regional Cooperation and NEPAD, which has the responsibility to
coordinate implementation of regional decisions, will do everything within its mandate to
provide the needed support for the achievement of the goals and objectives of the Guinea
Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project.
I thank you for the invitation and I wish you fruitful deliberations during the entire period
of this Training Workshop.
