third integration dialogue

1. Integrated approaches for the
implementation of the SAPs and NAPs:
ICZM, IWRM and management of
Coastal Aquifers
Dimitris Faloutsos
Senior Programme Officer
GWP-Med

2. The pilot application
on the Buna/Bojana Area

3. • Different “starting points”
in terms of management
approaches: ICZM, IWRM
• Aim: Sustainability
• Trigger for action: Legal
obligations of the countries

4. • Spatial Units (national and
transboundary institutions,
economic activities, natural
processes taken into
consideration etc.)

27. Current state
• Stakeholders Analysis report
completed (focus groups meetings
held in both countries and
interviews to collect information
on perceived management issues);
• Study visit of international
consultants implemented in May
2013;
• First draft “ICZM” chapters of plan
prepared
• First draft “IWRM” river basin
report prepared

28. Next steps
• Transboundary dimension of
issues/impacts/solutions incorporated in the
draft Management Plan, May 2014
• Draft Management Plan prepared, June
2014
• Consultation meeting at transboundary level,
Podgorica, June 2014
• Final Management Plan prepared, July 2014
• Final presentation conference on TB
Buna/Bojana IM Plan, September 2014

29. CHALLENGES
• Integrating management approaches (IWRM, ICZM)
• Integration among domains/ sectors responsible for
natural resources / spatial areas
• Integration of regional legal instruments (WFD and
ICZM Protocol; additionally MSFD)
•Transboundary integration
OBSTACLES
• Lack of information and data / different sets of
information and data formats
• Responsibilities of institutions within and
among countries
OPPORTUNITIES
• Answering to requirements of different legal
obligations with single approach
• Rationalization of approach (resources, time)
• “Holistic” planning
• Learning from each other – basis for joint
management of resources
• Building national capacities
• Replication to other areas
