Basic Project Data

		Official Project Title:	3339 - Establishment of Mechanisms for Integrated Land and Water Management in the Tisza River Basin

		New Project Title:	3339 - Integrating multiple benefits of wetlands and floodplains into improved transboundary management for the Tisza River Basin



		Project Summary:	The Tisza River Basin is the largest tributary of the Danube River and includes part of the territory of Ukraine, Slovak Republic, Hungary, Romania and Republic of Serbia. Over the last 150 years the basin has been subject to significant anthropogenic impacts that have resulted in a significantly degraded system, particularly in terms of pollution and the loss of floodplains and wetlands. The countries of the basin have requested support to develop an integrated strategy for water quality and water quantity that is incremental to the current work and to implement demonstration projects that test the multiple environmental benefits of wetlands to mitigate impacts of floods and droughts and help to reduce nutrient pollution

Rating of Project Progress towards Meeting Objective


		Overall 2008 Rating (from 08 PIR)	2009 Rating	Comments[6]
	National Project Manager/Coordinator:	N/A	S – Satisfactory	The project is progressing according to the initial timescale and plan. No significant problems or delays have been encountered. Three demonstration projects have been selected from 17 responses to a call for proposals. These demonstration address multiple issues associated with wetlands, floodplains and broader land use issues that will provide lessons for future replication in the basin, and provide direct input into the development of an integrated river basin managment plan. Work in developing the river basin management plan is proceeding in conjunction with the ICPDR's Tisza Group. National Experts have been recruited to facilitate the data collection and interpretation from each country.A communication expert is assisting with information dissemination and preparation of material for IW Conference in Cairns.
	Government GEF OFP[7] (optional):	0
	Executing Agency (optional):	0
	UNDP Country Office:	N/A	S – Satisfactory	Community based actions have been initiated that will assist the development and the execution of an Integrated Rivar Basin Management Plan. Linkage of the two components and information exchange has been secured through participation of managers of the three demo projects on the regular ICPDR Tisza Group meetings, where the ITRBM Plan is discussed. Also, the project managers present the progress of the respective demo projects in this meetings. Annual stakeholders workshops planned for November 2009 and November 2010 will bring in a broader group of local stakeholders from each Tisza country, further strenghtening the linkages between activities on the national and local level.
	UNDP Regional Technical Advisor:	N/A	S – Satisfactory	The project is well progressing towards meeting its objectives with no major dalays, three demo projects were selected from the extensive list of proposals received, veted by the SC and are now under the implementation, the Dec 2009 SC meeting will agree on the specific targets for Outcome two. The preparation of the IWRBM plan is also well progressing, countries already agreed with the draft strategy and will hopefully come up with the agreed version in December 2009.

Please summarize in 200 words the progress made this reporting period. This may be used for publication purposes.

	Component 1: all component activities have been initiated. National Experts have been recruited to draft strategies on pollution, flood and drought and the integration of the management of water quantity and quality. The work has been in full co-operation with the ICPDR's Tisza Group and in-line with the EU Water Framework Directive and Floord Directive. Component 2: Following a call for proposals on demonstration projects to highlight the multiple benefits of wetlands and floodplains, 17 proposals were received from which 3 were selected and approved by the Project Steering Committee. The three demonstration projects have all completed an inception period and are progressing as agreed. The UNDP co-funding has supported the identification, selection and inception period of the demonstration projects. The EC co-funds have provided the Analysis Report (equivalent to TDA) for the Tisza Basin and identified priority wetlands in the basin. UNEP has provided material on mine operations in the basin.

			2. Main mission of Global Water Partnership Slovakia - GWP Slovakia - (as part of the worldwide network GWP) is to create a platform in solving the problems of sustainable use of water resources and to mediate a dialogue between main interest groups in Slovakia. GWP has a branch organisation in each country of CEE region, including Hungary and Ukraine. GWP in Slovakia had established a partnership with Union of Municipalities in Slovakia (ZMOS) which evolved into organisation of joint activities and events.
	Outline the contribution the NGO has made to the results of the project:		200 word maximum.
			Each demonstration project is co-ordinated by a local NGO with experience in both the technical work and the local environmental problems. Their work is central to the overall MSP with the results and lessons learned being utilised to refine the policies and strategies being developed (Component 1) on pollution, floods and droughts, and the integration of water quantity and quality through improved management of floodplains and wetlands in the Tisza Basin. The demonstration projects are heavily focused on local community involvement and the lead NGOs are essential to conveying the messages of their work to this community. This will be further strengthened by a planned Stakeholder Workshop in November 2009

			Instructions:
			All GEF International Waters projects should deliver one or more of the 3 types of GEF IW Results/Outcomes and associated Indicators. Fill in the appropriate tables below following the attached guidance. If baseline (e.g. pre-intervention) data is available for SR or E/WR Indicators, this should be reported and identified as ‘baseline’ for comparison purposes. Reporting should cover cumulative project Outcomes realized as of the PIR Reporting period (e.g. through mid-2008 for 2008, etc.). Projects should respond to the required (by project type) Outcomes/Indicators and add any others they consider appropriate. If achievement of the Outcome is still in progress, the Indicator section should specify status/progress towards achieving the Outcome.
