A Handbook on Governance and Socioeconomics of Large Marine Ecosystems

The primary purpose of this Handbook is to serve as a practical guide to innovators of governance and socioeconomics in Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) projects. Based on a Global Environmental Facility IW:LEARN-sponsored workshop for 11 LME programs,1 the Handbook is designed to be used in short courses and workshops on governance and socioeconomics science to support the ecosystem approach to marine resources management. The Handbook explains why governance and socioeconomics are important to the success of resource management in the LME context. Good governance and socioeconomics can lead to good outcomes; bad governance and socioeconomics nearly always doom management efforts to failure. To improve the chances of successful management, the Handbook explains the basic principles and ingredients that make for good governance and socioeconomics – at all phases of LME project development, from the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) to the Strategic Action Program (SAP), and implementation of adaptive management and sustainable financing.

Final Report: IW:LEARN Regional Workshop on Economic Valuation and Water-Related Decision-Making

06-08 November 2006 Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Workshop report The goal of the workshop was to enable wider and more knowledgeable application of economic valuation of ecosystems in water management decisions. IUCN-WANI is the Project Activity Leader for learning relating to the freshwater – particularly river basin – subset of the GEF International Waters portfolio, under IW:LEARN Activity B2.1.2. The IW:LEARN programme is jointly overseen by UNDP, UNEP and the World Bank/World Bank Institute.

Summary Report: Activity B2.1.1 Freshwater - Aquifer-Groundwater Structured Learning

April 2008 The report, as deliverable no 15, provides a summary review of activities, outcomes and outputs under the IAA with evaluation of joint activities with recommendations for UNESCO/ISARM/IGRAC sustaining knowledge sharing support (“Sustainability plan”) - and potentially expanding linkages between the UNESCO/ISARM/IGRAC and GEF-IW Aquifer/Groundwater constituencies.
