About this project
Description
The project goal is to promote the joint management of the shared water resources of the White Drin Basin as part of the planned activities to foster joint management of the transboundary Drin River Basin. This project will complement the recently approved GEF Full Size Project ÂEnabling transboundary cooperation and integrated water resources management in the extended Drin River Basin (Drin GEF FSP) by fully integrating Kosovo, and the White Drin sub-basin, into this multi-country effort. The MSP project will hence adopt the same strategy and approaches of the Drin GEF FSP assisting the implementation of the aforementioned goal by (i) building consensus among Kosovo and the other Drin Riparians on key transboundary concerns and drivers of change, including climate variability and change, through joint fact finding; (ii) facilitating the agreement on a shared vision and on a program of priority actions deemed necessary to achieve the vision; (iii) strengthening technical and institutional capacities.
Objectives
To promote joint management of the shared water resources of the White Drin Basin contributing to the activities to foster joint management of the extended transboundary Drin River Basin.
