11	GEF INTERNATIONAL WATERS OPERATIONAL STRATEGY GOAL: To assist countries to use the full range of measures needed to operationalise sustainable development strategies for International Waters
12	THREE COMPLEMENTARY OPERATIONAL PROGRAMMES
13	WHAT DO WE MEAN BY “INTERNATIONAL WATERS” Include: Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) Enclosed or semi-enclosed seas Estuaries Rivers Lakes Groundwater systems Wetlands with TB drainage basins or common borders
14	EXAMPLES OF TRANSBOUNDARY WATERS
15	THE TRANSBOUNDARY DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS (TDA) Is recommended for most OP8 and OP9 projects Is a scientific and technical fact-finding analysis It should be an objective assessment and not a negotiated document It acts as a diagnostic tool for measuring the effectiveness of SAP implementation
16	STRATEGIC ACTION PROGRAMME (SAP) A SAP is a negotiated policy document It establishes clear priorities for action to resolve the priority transboundary waters problems It identifies policy, legal and institutional reforms and investments needed to address the priority transboundary waters problems The preparation of a SAP is a cooperative process among key stakeholders in the countries of the region.
17	Underlying principle of negotiation: Collaborative problem solving Seeking compromise

33	THE TDA/SAP PROCESS The TDA/SAP process can be divided into 5 phases:
34
35	PROJECT DEVELOPMENT The project development phase deals with the steps required to secure GEF funding for a Full Project. In particular, it concentrates on the preparation of the draft concept paper, pdf-a/b and the full project document including incremental cost
36	PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PHASE
37	PLANNING THE TDA/SAP The phase deals with the steps required to: Setting up a management structure for a TDA/SAP Carrying out a detailed stakeholder analysis and public participation plan Design work plan for the TDA/SAP implementation phase including budgets Preparation of Full Project Brief and Monitoring & Evaluation Plan
38	PLANNING THE TDA/SAP
39	DEVELOPMENT OF THE TDA This phase deals with the steps required to: Identify, quantify, and set priorities for the water-related environmental & water resources problems that are transboundary in nature. Identify their immediate, underlying and root causes. Undertake a governance analysis Draft the TDA
40	DEVELOPMENT OF THE TDA
41	FORMULATING THE SAP This phase deals with the steps required to: Develop a long term vision for the region Brainstorm ways to attain the Eco/WR QOs Assess the acceptability of the options, including: technical feasibility, as well as economic and political Set short-term targets and priority actions Develop M & E indicators Draft the SAP
42	FORMULATING THE SAP
43	SAP IMPLEMENTATION This final phase drives the whole process towards the implementation of the SAP through the development of relevant interventions by the GEF and/or other donors
44	SAP IMPLEMENTATION
45	PART 3
46	PURPOSE OF THE COURSE To build a core of human resources and strengthen the project planning capabilities of individuals and institutions involved in GEF IW projects, as a means for a more effective implementation of the strategy and procedures set up by GEF IW authorities at both the local and regional levels.
47	OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE It is expected that by the end of the course, the participants will have strengthened knowledge and management skills to apply the full TDA/SAP procedure leading to the production of an Strategic Action Plan (SAP), as well as to know how to proceed and take decisions regarding any of the steps in the TDA/SAP planning and management process
48	TARGET POPULATION Project Managers/Chief Technical Advisors Members of the TDA Technical Task Team Members of the NAP or SAP Formulation Teams PMU staff Personnel from national planning offices Members of the inter-ministry committee Members of the Project Steering Committee
49	Structure of the Course
50	METHOD OF WORKING This is a job-oriented and problem solving course that provide participants a set of concepts, practical tools, and lessons learned. Through the use of more than 30 case studies applicable to every step of the TDA/SAP management process, the participants are exposed to experiences from many GEF IW projects. This is a group training course with prepared training manuals, reading materials, lectures, practical exercises and self-assessment tests.
