Component 5: Local, National and bi-National Level
Institutional Arrangements
This component is designed to correct problems
identified in the TDA regarding the shortcomings in institutions working
at the local and national levels, and to encourage enhancement of
binational coordination between institutions within the SJRB as well as to
ensure that the prescribed actions of the SAP are incorporated into
national policies. Technical meetings bringing together MINAE and MARENA
personnel and cooperative research efforts between universities and other
institutions of both countries will be promoted. Current institutional
arrangements and the role they play in the management of the San Juan
River Basin will be reviewed. This component is complementary to component
6.
The execution of these activities will be undertaken
by the relevant national institutions and organizations such as MARENA,
and MINAE, and academic institutions and research centers. The
coordination and supervision will be ensured by the Technical Units at
MINAE and MARENA. Specific detailed Terms of Reference will be prepared by
the Technical Coordinators in close consultation with UNEP and GS/OAS,
during the first quarter of the project period. |
