The goal of the project is to ensure the sustainable development of the Artibonito watershed. The immediate objective of the project is to promote comprehensive, integrated ecosystem-based reforms, demonstrations and investments for the sustainable management of a strategic international watershed. It will achieve this by (i) assisting both countries to better understand the environmental concerns of the watershed and work collaboratively to address them at bi-national and local levels; (ii) building capacity at the local, institutional and systemic levels to utilise a more comprehensive approach for addressing transboundary water-related environmental concerns; and (iii) implementing on-the ground measures that address the priority transboundary environmental concerns and build upon other ongoing efforts.
