UNDP’s Water Governance Programme is active in over 150 countries, including 13 countries of the SADC region, in four thematic areas of support: Water Supply, Sanitation, Transboundary Waters Management, and Integrated Water Resources Management. In strengthening water governance and thereby boosting progress toward the MDGs; UNDP’s strategy includes mainstreaming of Water management into national development and poverty reduction strategies, playing a catalytic role in institutional and individual capacity development and resource mobilization for improved water governance; promotion of regional cooperation in transboundary waters management and the mainstreaming of both gender and climate change into policy considerations. The International Waters focal area of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) represents the principal source of funding for the Transboundary Waters Management area. Covering both freshwater and marine ecosystems in the region, GEF International Waters projects play a catalytic role in building regional cooperation through consensus on implementing policy, legal, and institutional reforms, and making full use of funding and investment opportunities to address agreed transboundary waters priorities. The International waters portfolio of projects which UNDP currently implements on behalf of the GEF in the region is worth US$ 50 million and a further US$ 30milion worth of projects are currently under development.
