COVID-19 forced alternative ways to stay in contact: 11 Webinars arranged so farAll Country contracts & Partner contracts signed
Funds transferred allowing execution of field activities
Regional project social – and traditionalmedia approach developed
Various studies supported and conducted, or still ongoing (see next slide)
• Various studies supported and completed (SOCAR, REMDAP, Environmental Laboratories in the region, etc.) & several ongoing:
• Development of a public private partnership to reduce marine pollution from pleasure vessels (yachts) & tourism centres (CARPHA-led)
• Regional review to strengthen policy, legislative and institutional capacity to support sustainable land and water resources and ecosystems management in IWEco participating states (CARPHA-led)
• Development of a Regional Action Framework For Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) For The CARICOM Region (OECS-led)
Highlights
Extremely slow execution of
activities on the ground in most countries at mid
term
Challenges
Project implementation time is running
out…Impact of COVID-19 on the society as a whole and on the
project in particular
Internal financial &
