Abstract
Enhancing the Use of Science in International Waters Projects to Improve Project Results, IW:Science, is a GEF medium-sized project conducted to recognize, capture, analyze and integrate the scientific findings from GEF International Waters (IW) projects, an investment of more than US $6 billion, and to disseminate them across the IW portfolio and beyond. Executed by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH) and implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the project was launched in 2009 and covers the five main areas in the GEF International Waters portfolio: surface water; lakes; groundwater; large marine ecosystems; and deep oceans. A working group was formed to address each of these areas. The project’s objective is to enhance — through knowledge integration and information-sharing tools — the use of science in the GEF IW focal area to strengthen priority setting, knowledge sharing and results-based adaptive management in current and future projects.
