An important advantage of such mainstreaming is that it incorporates the sound management of harmful substances and hazardous waste into sustainable development strategies and so, via negotiated development assistance strategies, including UNDAF processes, mobilizes the financial resources necessary to promote, sustain and supervise national programmes towards the adoption of best techniques and practices and the achievement of lower risks. The project comprises four\r\ncomponents:\r\n\r\nComponent 1 of the project will develop the baseline information on the cost of inaction in relation to the sound management of chemicals. This information is needed to provide convincing economic arguments of the need for sound management of\r\nchemicals both at the national and international levels. \r\n\r\nComponent 2 will continue to develop the linkages between Health and Environment sectors.\r\nIt will support regional policy-building processes as well as situation and needs assessments at national level. \r\n\r\nComponent 3  will develop integrated guidance on the development of legal and institutional infrastructure and\r\neconomic instruments that can be used at national level to promote sound management of chemicals. \r\n\r\nComponent 4 will promote and support national programmes to assess and manage harmful substances and hazardous waste.These four closely linked components will depending of the extrabudgetary funding be delivered in up to13 countries through important partnerships and networks: The UNEP-UNDP partnership initiative on integration (mainstreaming) of sound management of chemicals into national development processes will deliver components 1,3,4. UNEP is responsible for the normative developments of the partnership and has a supervisory function for the country implementation while UNDP is responsible for national execution linked to the Poverty and Environment Initiative (PEI).\r\n\r\nComponent 2 will be delivered at regional level by UNEP Regional Offices and at national level in partnership with WHO regional offices. Capacities and networks built by the Chemicals Information Exchange Network (CIEN) will be\r\nexploited, particularly in component 4. \r\nNational execution is supported by the SAICM Quick Start Programme. The project will also promote its activities to the GEF and other donors to secure financial support.\r\n","ActualStartDate":"2010-08-06","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"2010-01-01","EndDate":"2013-12-31","ProjectManager":"Kaj Madsen","ProjectManagerEmail":"kaj.madsen@unep.org","regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"}]}],[{"projectID":"00919","ProjTitle":"Technical Cooperation Trust Fund for the Implementation of Activities by the United Nations fund for international partnership (UNFIP) <MESO American Reef Alliance >","ProjStatus":"Completed","ProjSummary":"","ActualStartDate":"","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"","EndDate":"","ProjectManager":null,"ProjectManagerEmail":null,"regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"}]}],[{"projectID":"00921","ProjTitle":"Technical Cooperation Trust Fund for the Implementation of Activities by the United Nations fund for international partnership (UNFIP) <MESO American Reef Alliance >","ProjStatus":"Completed","ProjSummary":"","ActualStartDate":"","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"","EndDate":"","ProjectManager":null,"ProjectManagerEmail":null,"regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"}]}],[{"projectID":"00973","ProjTitle":"Account of IM40400404 UNEP OzonAction Programme -ROLAC's portfolio including Multilateral Fund projects approved from ExCom 4 I (December 2003)","ProjStatus":"Inactive","ProjSummary":"","ActualStartDate":"","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"2004-01-01","EndDate":"2010-12-31","ProjectManager":null,"ProjectManagerEmail":null,"regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"}]}],[{"projectID":"01739","ProjTitle":"Integrating environmental sustainability in the UN Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs) and UN common country programming processes.

Worldwide decline in coral reef health and ecosystem service provision is driven by a range of synergistic pressures, requiring integrated and ecosystem based policy, planning and management responses. The urgency of addressing the crisis facing coral reefs is reflected in the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) Call to Action and Framework for Action, Aichi Biodiversity Target 10, and &lsquo;The Future We Want&rsquo; paragraph 176. In 2012, UNEP and the Regional Seas committed to collaboration on addressing the downward trajectory of the world&rsquo;s coral reefs through a partnership approach (Regional Seas Strategic Directions 2013-16, Strategic Direction 6). A workshop at the Second Global Conference on Land-Ocean Connections (GLOC-2) in 2013 provided guidance on partnership purpose, objectives and priority activities as well as its operational basis. \r\nThis project provides the framework for mobilizing UNEP, tropical Regional Seas Programmes, UNEP-WCMC, GRID-Arendal, other organizations and private sector entities in coral reef partnership activities. The overall purpose is to support countries meet Aichi Target 10 and other international commitments, by reducing and managing the impacts of stresses faced by coral reefs and the broader tropical coastal ecosystem in which they occur, through an ecosystem approach encompassing enhanced access to and use of environmental data, collaboration across public and private sectors, and gender mainstreaming. \r\nAt the global level, the partnership provides a community to support exchange of best practice and lessons learned and, where required, to develop new tools and approaches that enable ecosystem based management in coral reef areas. At the regional level, adoption of approaches, tools and methods by regional intergovernmental mechanisms will be facilitated through provision of policy guidance and other forms of support. At the national level, the partnership will support uptake of ecosystem-based management approaches through information access, capacity building and pilot or demonstration activities implemented with local, national, regional and international partners. UNEP provides the secretariat of the partnership. \r\nActivities are implemented towards four outputs responding to priorities identified by the Regional Seas: Output A) Indicators, methods, planning tools and strategic frameworks for management of coral reefs that builds resilience in the face of climate change and includes gender perspectives developed and tested through pilot interventions; Output B) Tools for policy-focused coral reef ecosystem service valuation, economic instruments for coral reef management and sectoral codes of practice that include gender perspectives developed and tested through pilot interventions; Output C) Knowledge for ecosystem-based coral reef planning and management, including development and pilot testing of coral reef status and outlook reporting and indicators for tracking progress towards targets, and related training; and Output D) Institutional mechanisms for policy uptake and outreach, including partnership operations, communication, and support to ICRI and GCRMN. \r\n","ActualStartDate":"2015-01-09","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"2015-01-01","EndDate":"2019-12-31","ProjectManager":"Gabriel Grimsditch","ProjectManagerEmail":"Gabriel.Grimsditch@unep.org","regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Global"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Western Asia"},{"region":"Global"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Western Asia"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Climate change"},{"subprogramme":"Climate change"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"}]}],[{"projectID":"01923","ProjTitle":"Addressing the Nutrient Challenge through an Effective Global Partnership on Nutrient Management (GPNM)","ProjStatus":"Completed","ProjSummary":"The project is designed to promote sustainable management of nutrients through the Global Partnership on Nutrient Management (GPNM) by using the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) and the Regional Seas Programme as platforms for dialogues, policy making and actions at national, regional and global levels. The project continues the work initiated through the &ldquo;Managing Harmful Substance and Hazardous Waste through the Global Programme of Action in support of Regional Seas Agreements&rdquo; project, previous under the Harmful Substances and Hazardous Waste Sub-Programme, between 2010 and 2014. The project will also contribute to scale up the use of ecosystem-based management practices in an enabling policy framework such that land-based sources of pollution reaching coastal waters and open seas leading to eutrophication and the creation of dead zones, are effectively monitored, assessed and ultimately reduced. The project aims to strengthen the capacities and capabilities of the GPNM, a partnership of governments, industry, science community, UN agencies, NGOs and regional intergovernmental organizations that has been endorsed by the governments through the Manila Declaration adopted during the 3rd Inter-governmental Review Meeting of the GPA (GPA\/IGR-3) in January 2012. It is envisaged that a strengthened GPNM will build the necessary momentum to catalyse a global network of policy makers, private sector bodies, NGOs and international organizations with the common goal to raise awareness and facilitate the exchange of good practices to promote sustainable nutrient management and nutrient use efficiency to ensure food security and maintaining the integrity of our natural environment, including the most productive areas of the marine environment, in estuaries and near-shore coastal waters.\r\nThe project will draw attention to the impact of current practices of inefficient and unsustainable nutrient uses on the marine environment through the publication of scientific reports and using them for targeted outreach and campaigns and mobilize actions to promote nutrient use efficiency. It is anticipated that targeted advocacy will stimulate a public discourse on run-off and atmospheric deposition of nutrients from various sources into the coastal and marine environment, which is the root cause of harmful algal blooms leading to eutrophication and dead zones worldwide with consequent economic and social costs.\r\nSpecifically the project will focus on four (4) key areas that are consistent with the work areas of the GPNM; (A) Contribution to development of knowledge (policy & technical) products to inform decision making amongst policy makers, professionals, farmers, private sector, (B) Provision of support for piloting and replication of appropriate pilot solutions and BMPs for sustainable nutrient management and pollution reduction with focus on developing countries, sharing lessons from developed countries, (C) Generation of awareness resources and social marketing tools and facilitating easy dissemination (via the GPNM platform and other ICT tools) to influence farmers, extensionists, policy makers and other stakeholders to drive change in behaviours and practice and (D) Contribute to continued strengthening of the GPNM to facilitate expanded global and regional partnership, particularly through Regional-level Nutrient Management Platforms.\r\n","ActualStartDate":"2015-09-08","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"2015-09-01","EndDate":"2018-12-31","ProjectManager":"Christopher Cox ","ProjectManagerEmail":"christopher.cox@un.org","regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Global"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Western Asia"},{"region":"Global"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Western Asia"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Climate change"},{"subprogramme":"Climate change"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"}]}],[{"projectID":"01951","ProjTitle":"Addressing the Illicit Trade in Wildlife and Forest Products","ProjStatus":"Completed","ProjSummary":"The illicit trade in wildlife and forest products (ITW) is a major threat to biodiversity, and one of the most profitable forms of illicit activity. It poses significant environmental, social, security, and economic threats to many countries, undermining sustainable development and the rule of law and is an impediment to progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Beyond the direct impacts on a wide range of flora and fauna, the increasing involvement of organized criminal groups acting across borders is fuelling corruption, money-laundering and further illicit activities including of a transboundary nature, and undermines the ability of States to enforce their legislation and achieve more sustainable management of their natural resources.\r\n\r\nCountries meet serious challenges in addressing ITW, related to the policy and legal frameworks in place and associated institutional capacities. One important cause of ITW is the profitability of trade in wildlife and forest products, which in turn has a key driver in the high demand and &ndash; in some contexts - in the limited income generation alternatives. More cohesive and concerted efforts, increased international cooperation, strengthened national legal frameworks, adequate and harmonized sanctions, and enhanced enforcement capacities are needed to enable countries of origin, transit and destination to address ITW. Increased public awareness on the potential illicit nature of trade in these products needs to be enhanced to change public behaviors, in particular on the demand side.  \r\n\r\nIn a complex panorama where a high number of entities (including UN entities, MEAs and NGOs) address ITW, UNEP aims to provide strategic leadership and guidance, as well as targeted technical support, to promote effective actions to reduce such ITW across the entire supply chain. The project will (i) facilitate coordination, develop guidance materials and evidence-based reports for the development and implementation of policies and strategies to address ITW; (ii) provide support to countries to strengthen legal frameworks and implementation capacities and facilitate information exchange; and (iii) coordinate and conduct communication campaigns to influence decision makers, policy makers, private sector, public opinion and the media across the supply chain.\r\n","ActualStartDate":"2016-06-03","ActualEndDate":null,"StartDate":"2016-06-01","EndDate":"2018-12-31","ProjectManager":"Johannes Robinson","ProjectManagerEmail":"Johan.Robinson@unep.org","regions":[{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Global"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Western Asia"},{"region":"Global"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Western Asia"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"Africa"},{"region":"Asia and the Pacific"},{"region":"Europe"},{"region":"Latin America and the Caribbean"},{"region":"North America"},{"region":"Western Asia"}],"subprogrammes":[{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Climate change"},{"subprogramme":"Climate change"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environmental governance"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Environment under review"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"},{"subprogramme":"Resource efficiency"}]}]]
