Description

The Tisza community-led demonstration project for sustainable development and integrated land and water management is an integral part of the GEF- Mid-Size Project "Establishment of Mechanisms for Integrated Land and Water Management in the Tisza River Basin". This pilot and demonstration component will aim at developing, implementation and evaluation of a transboundary community-led project that promotes sustainable development through integrated land and water management practices.

The demonstration project’s objective is to yield valuable insights and lessons, which will serve to inform the TDA/SAP process of the umbrella GEF- project. The focus of the project will be on community-driven governance interventions, encouraging community ownership of project activities and outcomes. The demonstration project’s approach is to identify and implement interventions that tackle socio-economic challenges and enhance opportunities for the local population (and vulnerable groups in particular), while at the same time resulting in improved environmental conditions. The lessons learnt and project implementation mechanisms tested will be incorporated into the SAP and NAPs, to be replicated in future local and community-level projects.
