This document outlines the execution arrangements for a project on groundwater management in the Syr Darya transboundary basin between Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) will provide funding support through the implementing agency UNDP and executing agency UNESCO IHP. A project management unit will oversee national teams in each country and coordinate with steering committees, national governments, and a science advisory panel. Key discussion points focus on ensuring country ownership and participation through inter-ministerial coordination on water, energy, food, and environment issues.
