Another TRADP Initiative ---- Tumen River Area Development Program A Strategic Action Program to Protect Biodiversity and International Water Resources in Northeast Asia and to attract Green Investment

  2. In a nutshell…. - 5 countries (China, DPRK, Mongolia ROK, Russia), in partnership with GEF, UNDP, UNOPS - and with a budget of $6.8m over 2 years - Managed, implemented and driven by countries through a network of regional lead agents and national expert institutions (TumenNET) - 5 project components (science, information, community, survey, policy) each managed and led by one of the five countries - Extensive use of specialists from the region enhances national ownership and facilitates long-term sustainability after cessation - Project Coordination Unit responsible for overall quality control, coordination and for provision of resources to countries

  4. Project flow chart

  5. Challenges & opportunities... (1) To ensure the SAP is sustainable and can be implemented by national governments - with or without UN/GEF assistance (2) To involve communities to the extent possible and ensure the SAP process is supported by local people (3) To lay the foundations for private sector involvement to facilitate access to non government capital and investment (4) To deliver project outcomes on time and within budget and to involve all stakeholders - equitably and fair

  6. Issue 1 - sustainability * Countries manage and drive the project, while international experts provide initial guidance, training only - national ownership * Transformation from the scientific to the political process (TDA SAP) supported by inter-governmental MOUs that involve foreign affairs, line ministries, provincial governors - political acceptance * Regional networks are developed and maintained by national governments that pave the way towards national acceptance and regional cooperation among countries - regional political dialogue * Use of experts from the region ensures that expertise and know how stay at home and do not leave with the international experts at the end of the GEF intervention - sustainable knowledge base

  7. Issue 2 - communities Millions of people in 5 countries - urban & nomadic communities OECD members, transition- and centrally planned economies => * Regional Small Grants Programaugments the traditional SGP, focusing on cross-border knowledge exchange for villagers * Green Schoolinitiative bringing environmental awareness to kindergarten and primary / secondary schools * Clean-up Dayinitiative to mobilize local communities to clean up local waterways - sponsored by private business * Environment Atlas, GIS, 10 websites in national languagesand English, for local government, education sector, urban society

  8. Issue 3 - green business Private capital / entrepreneurship can complement public funding but requires long-term policy work to attract investment => * Cooperation agreement with the Federation of Korean Industries as a precursor to similar industry involvement with other countries * MOU of Provincial Governors to cooperate in biodiversity and international water protection and green business promotion Green investment or green business is defined broadly as a private or public sector activity that has environmental net benefits and that aims, directly or indirectly, to protect the environment, reduce environmental risks, or minimise pollution and the unsustainable use of resources. It is socially responsible and involves those parts of society that are affected by its impact. It employs best practice environmental management principles in a dynamic process that is subject to constant improvements.
