3A-Lake Victoria Phase II, APL 2 uygulanacağı yer: Afrika .
The development objectives of the Adaptable Program Loan for the Second Phase of the Lake Victoria Environmental Management Project are to: improve the collaborative management of the transboundary natural resources of Lake Victoria Basin (LVB) for the shared benefits of the partner states; and reduce environmental stress in targeted pollution hotspots and selected degraded sub-catchments to improve the livelihoods of communities, who depend on the natural resources of LVB. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is strengthening institutional capacity for managing shared water and fisheries resources. This component will focus on building the capacity and increasing the effectiveness of the existing national institutions in Burundi and Rwanda to manage the water and fisheries resources in the Kagera River Basin, and improve the cooperative management of shared transboundary natural resources of the Lake Victoria Basin. The second component of the project is point source pollution control and prevention. The main objective of this component is to reduce environmental stresses from point source pollution, especially municipal wastewaters, on the rivers, wetlands, and lakes in the LVB portion of Rwanda and Burundi. The third component of the project is watershed management. This component seeks to reduce environmental stresses in the LVB through integrated watershed management, including the rehabilitation of degraded wetlands and river banks, and the adoption of on-farm soil and water conservation programs on the hillsides. The fourth component of the project is project coordination and management. This component will provide resources necessary for effective project coordination, regional and national levels communication and capacity building, monitoring and evaluation activities, and sharing of information among countries.
