Component 1: Formulation of the SAP

Development of the SAP is the core task to be completed by the Technical Units in close consultation with UNEP and the GS/OAS pursuant to the implementation arrangements set forth in paragraph 45 and following. The outcome of the SAP can not be determined a priori, however, strategic actions were anticipated based upon the findings of the information previously gathered during the PDF-B phase of the program and that derived from the TDA. Components 2 through 7 will provide the knowledge base upon which the SAP will be formulated. Thus, the Technical Units will

1. assemble the results of the work of components 2 through 7--the cost assessments and feasibility studies conducted at specific locations within the SJRB over the 36-month project period--,

2. collate and integrate these outputs with the information previously assembled during the PDF-B phase of the program using as well information deriving from the TDA, and

3. synthesize a strategic program of action to implement specific management measures within the San Juan River Basin following the completion of this project. Integrated management entails the coordinated management of land and water resources at the local or community level within the context of the cumulative impacts and effects of those actions on the basin as a whole, including the coastal zone.

Specific detailed Terms of Reference will be prepared by the Technical Units in close consultation with UNEP and GS/OAS, during the first quarter of the project period.
