The programme aims to set-up the necessary policy, regulatory and institutional mechanisms enabling the penetration of renewable energy sources in the energy mix of the partner countries as well as increasing the energy efficiency at national level (as measured by the energy intensity of the national economies)
The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve agricultural production in areas affected by water-logging, and to reduce damage to housing and infrastructure from rising ground water levels and salinity in the project areas. Addressing the problem of high groundwater levels by financing for improvements in surface irrigation and drainage network as well as for installation of subsurface horizontal and vertical drainage wells.
To contribute to the development of efficient and coordinated national policies with regard to water quality aspects of integrated water resources management in Central Asia.
The goal was to combat land degradation and improve rural livelihoods in the CACs. The objective was to establish the Central Asian Initiative for Land Management (CACILM), a multi-country and donor partnership to support the development and implementation of national level programmatic frameworks for more comprehensive and integrated approaches to sustainable land management in the region. The CACILM is a 10-year, multicountry, multidonor program promoting SLM to restore, maintain, and enhance productivity of Drylands. The goal of CACILM was to combat land degradation while also improving rural livelihoods across the region. It was anticipated that in the second and third phase significantly more resources could be invested in SLM-related activities in the Kyrgyz Republic, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, by the partnership of national governments, the GEF, implementing agencies, and other donors.
The project’s objective was to ensure the microbiological safety of drinking water in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. The project aimed to establish a standardized microbiological monitoring system in the region, based on international ISO/WHO standards.
Based on the outcomes of phase I, the project supported the regional dialogue on the strengthening of institutional and legal frameworks of water resources management in Central Asia, including under the umbrella of IFAS, as well as facilitated the understanding and application of international water law in the region.
This project aimed to assess, using a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, the geo-environmental security status of the region centred on the Toktogul reservoir scheme. The project also formulated scenarios of potential threats to the geoenvironmental security of the Toktogul region and produce recommendations for mitigation measures to ensure the highest levels of security in the future.
Assistance to the beneficiary countries in ensuring improved control of their energy consumption in the building sector by promoting and developing EE, as well as the use of RE where applicable, in this particular sector
To strengthen national and local capacities for participatory and informed planning, decision-making, implementation and monitoring processes in relation to environment and security
challenges and for environmental conflict prevention and resolution
The overall objective of the programme is to ensure sustainable water management in Eastern Europe, the South Caucasus and Central Asia. FinWater WEI’s purpose is to reduce water disputes inside and between countries and to improve water supply and sanitation through improved education, increased investment and better alignment of water management with the UNECE Water Convention and its Water and Health Protocol.
