International Waters

The goal of the international waters focal area is the sustainable management of transboundary water bodies through regionally connected community-based activities. Within this focal area, SGP links community-based approaches that support the implementation of intergovernmental agreements or policies, such as national Transboundary Diagnostic Analyses, regional Strategic Action Programmes or larger international water programmes. SGP support is focused on innovative local solutions to reduce pollution, improve water use efficiency, protect water supply and sustainable fisheries using rights-based management.
