Components

Outcome 1: Consensus among countries on key transboundary concerns, including climate change and variability - reached through joint fact-finding strengthens transboundary cooperation and opens the way to coordinated remedial actions.

Outcome 2: Enhanced water security, environmental sustainability and forecasting capabilities in both basins and their coastal areas achieved through the establishment of transboundary cooperation and information exchange frameworks and mechanisms.

Outcome 3: Countries resolve to joint actions reinforced by testing on the ground environmentally sound land/water management approaches, policies, practices and technologies, and share results and experiences.
Output 3.1: Program of pilot demonstrations selected on the basis of the results and findings of Component 1 (e.g. flood forecasting and community preparedness, fish-friendly irrigation expansion).

Outcome 4: The process of reversing degradation trends in the two basins galvanized as countries commit to sustain joint cooperation mechanisms and to undertake priority reforms and investments.
Output 4.1: Countries establish ad hoc inter-ministerial committees (IMCs).
Output 4.2: Two Strategic Action Programs (SAP) with horizon of 5-10 years, consistent with the Shared Vision.
Output 4.3: A partnership conference consolidating international support for SAPs implementation.
Output 4.4: National Action Plans (NAP) for the Ma and Neun/Ca river basins translating regional priorities into national actions (to be implemented after SAP endorsement).

Outcome 5.1: The visibility and sustainability of project outcomes enhanced by the reinforcement of capacities of relevant national entities and of the interim transboundary cooperation body established as part of the project.

Outcome 5.2: Benefits from the global to the local levels accrue through the sharing and dissemination of project experiences and lessons learned.
