The UNEP is the GEF implementing agency for the Iullemeden project
UNEP Division of Global Environment Facility (UNEP/DGEF)
UNEP has a key role in the GEF, catalyzing the development of scientific and technical analysis and advancing environmental management in GEF-financed activities. UNEP provides guidance on relating the GEF-financed activities to global, regional and national environmental assessments, policy frameworks and plans, and to international environmental agreements.
GEF projects to reverse the degradation of international waters are
informed by—and help to realize the objectives of— a mosaic of
regional and international water agreements. These projects enable
countries to recognize and learn more about the water-related
challenges they share, find ways to work together, and undertake
important domestic changes needed to solve problems. The three
categories of water projects are:
1) water bodies;
2) integrated land and water projects; and
3) contaminants.
