The
present and the future
The
GEF SP for the Mediterranean LME, will be implemented by UNEP and the WB, and executed
by UNEP/MAP and a number of co-executing agencies.
It responds directly to priorities of the countries of the
Mediterranean Sea basin as identified in the Transboundary Diagnostic
Analysis, and to the agreed interventions as outlined in the two Strategic
Action Plans, SAP-BIO and SAP-MED which are now ready for implementation.
The
Partnership will serve as a catalyst in leveraging policy/legal/institutional reforms as well as in bringing
in additional investments for
reversing the degradation of the
Mediterranean large marine ecosystem, its contributing freshwater basins, its habitats and coastal aquifers.
