The projects were part of the
Global Environment Facility (GEF) Strategic Partnership
on Black Sea and Danube Basin. The partnership is a
multilateral structure established with the cooperation
of the World Bank (WB), the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP), and other financiers, as well as basin
countries to address the degradation of the Black Sea
and Danube Basin region. The Strategic Partnership
launched in 2001 with an initial funding of $95 million
in GEF grants, is an initiative coordinated among UN
agencies and the World Bank in support of a
country-driven program that addresses the key concern of
this basin: pollution from nutrients and subsequent
eutrophication that is the cause of many environmental
and water use problems.
The GEF Investment Fund
for Nutrient Reductions managed by the World Bank, was
established to catalyze investments and accelerate
action by other stakeholders interested in the recovery
of the Black Sea. It aimed to leverage US$210 million to
complement US$70 million GEF grant funds for nutrient
reduction investments in the agriculture, and municipal
and industrial wastewater treatment sectors and for
wetland restoration. More on Strategic Partnership and
Investment Fund.
