UNEP/MAP GEF / MedPartnership: The Presentation Ivica Trumbic Project Manager
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY BACKGROUND AND HISTORY • The MedPartnership is a continuation of (and builds upon) the previous GEF Project run by UNEP/MAP. This project reviewed and updated the existing TDA and designed/elaborated two and updated the existing TDA and designed/elaborated two SAPs – Strategic Action Program to address pollution from land ‐ based activities (SAP ‐ MED) and – Strategic Action Program for the Conservation of Mediterranean Marine and Coastal Biological Diversity (SAP ‐ BIO). g y ( ) • The two SAPs were formally adopted by the Contracting Parties of the Barcelona Convention and were ready for implementation through MedPartnership
MEDPARTNERSHIP AND THE BARCELONA MEDPARTNERSHIP AND THE BARCELONA CONVENTION • Barcelona Convention offers strategic and legal framework for MedPartnership activities l l f k f M dP t hi ti iti • MedPartnership focused on results which would be instrumental for the achievement of the objectives of Barcelona Convention j • The above are the reasons why the Project Management Unit (PMU) is located in Management Unit (PMU) is located in UNEP/MAP

Objectives of the UNEP/MAP led Objectives of the UNEP/MAP led Regional Project are • to promote and induce harmonized policy, legal and institutional reforms • to fill the knowledge gap aimed at reversing marine and coastal degradation trends and living resources depletion in coastal degradation trends and living resources depletion, in accordance with priorities agreed by the countries in the SAP MED and SAP BIO, and • to prepare the ground for the future implementation of the ICZM Protocol.
Objective of the World Bank led b f h ld k l d Investment Fund is Investment Fund is to accelerate the implementation of transboundary p y pollution reduction and biodiversity conservation measures in priority hotspots and sensitive areas of selected countries of the Mediterranean basin that would help achieve the SAP MED and SAP BIO targets.
