The
Integrated
Watershed Management Practices for
the Pantanal and Upper Paraguay
River Basin project is being developed to assist the Government
of Brazil in the formulation and implementation of a Strategic
Action Program (SAP) for
the Integrated Management of the Pantanal and Upper Paraguay River Basin.
The project activities are designed to enhance and provide protection to the
environmental functioning of the predominant ecological system, protect the
wetland biodiversity, and implement strategic activities that address the
root causes of environmental degradation. The strengthening of basin
institutions responsible for water resources management in the Basin, the
generation and dissemination of information, and the integration of
environmental concerns into economic development activities on a sustainable
basis are key elements of this project.
The
General Secretariat of
the Organization of American States
(OAS/GSB),
through the
Department of Sustainable
Development
(DSD),
is responsible for the
overall management of the project,
in collaboration with
UNEP
as the GEF
implementing Agency.
This project meets the
objectives of the
GEF Operational Program #9:
International Waters Integrated Land-Water
