Project description

Argentina and Uruguay governments are interested in consolidating the considerable achievements of FREPLATA, which include a firm foundation of policy and legal reforms, detailed biogeophysical assessments, and comprehensive project portfolios including both baseline contributions and additional initiatives in support of the SAP and associated NAPs, and build upon them in order to capitalize on the extensive political and technical bi-national and intra-national networks that have been established - as well as the significant commitment and will of both countries. The SAP and two associated NAPs identified an impressive portfolio of projects required to effectively achieve the Common Vision of ÔÇ£improvement in the standard of living of the population of the RPMF by restoring and preserving its water quality, biodiversity, and the sustainability of its uses and resourcesÔÇØ. As evidenced in the NAPs, both are committed to providing long-term funding and multi-sectoral support.
