As water resources are shared between countries and regions, Transboundary water management projects/programmes was created as a sub-sector of water management initiatives within the Fund to promote sustainable development within vulnerable communities and regions.
The Mashreq region is part of the most water scarce region in the world and both urban and rural areas face water challenges. However, some urban areas, especially in Lebanon and Jordan, experience extreme pressure
Water shortages is one of the impacts that climate change has had on the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). These shortages are related to droughts, which result in decreased agricultural yields, threatening food security through the sub-region. Furthermore, the income-generating capacity of water-dependent livelihood activities including freshwater
The project will be implemented in the transboundary area of Cuando-Cubango (Angola) and Kavango (Namibia). This area experiences changing weather patterns, drops/rises in water levels, and increased frequency of extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods.
To overcome this situation, the overall objective of the project is
The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) includes the sovereign nations of Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Thailand, and Viet Nam. With a rapidly increasing population in the range of 250 million people, the region is experiencing more variable surface water flows, a prolonged dry season and
Lake Victoria Basin extends into five countries, namely Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi, and Rwanda.
In the Lake Victoria Basin (LVB), climate change is inadequately integrated into regional transboundary water catchment management which is increasing the vulnerability of LVB communities. This problem is expected to intensify under the conditions of future climate change, specifically increasing variability in
