This document is designed to provide a road map for best practice in formulating a Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis and a Strategic Action Programme (TDA/SAP) as part of a GEF international waters project. It is prepared on the basis of discussions between specialists from UNDP, UNEP and the GEF Secretariat, together with practitioners who have completed the process in freshwater and marine systems. It reflects experience obtained in conducting TDA/SAPs between 1996 and the present. It is not however intended as a prescriptive formula, merely a guide that should be adapted to the cultural realities of each region. In preparing this guide, various other inter-institutional processes have been taken into account that have been supported by the GEF: the Global International Waters Assessment (UNEP-GEF), the IW:Learn programme (UNDP-GEF) and the Train Sea Coast programme (UNOALOS). The approach taken closely follows the paradigm of adaptive management and incorporates the recently defined GEF IW M & E indicators. |
