TWAP Comparison of Governance Assessments Conducted by the Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme Components (2016)
The water systems of the world, aquifers, lakes, rivers, large marine ecosystems and Open Ocean, provide goods and services that are essential for human well-being. Many of these systems are transboundary. The Global Environment Facility International Waters (GEF IW) focal area is supporting the Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme (GEF TWAP) which is the first global-scale assessment of transboundary waters. The methodologies for this assessment were developed during the TWAP Medium-sized Project (MSP)(2009-2010). The TWAP Full-sized Project updated and implemented these methodologies to conduct the first truly global comparative assessment for the five transboundary water system categories. The TWAP consists of five independent indicator-based assessments.
