DESCRIPTION
This activity aims to increase the outreach and interactions between the GEF IW portfolio and the broader water resources, coastal and marine management and scientific community. An IATF selection of various sets of 3-4 projects will represent the GEF IW portfolio for at least 8 international freshwater and/or marine events – such as CSD-13, World Water Forum 4, the IWRA Congress, the World Bank’s Water Week or the 7th Environmental Management of Enclosed Coastal Seas (EMECS) Conference. At the SC discretion, IW:LEARN PCU may also help organize sessions or side-events where these projects present their experiences.
