Mid-term evaluation of the UNEP GEF project: Addressing transboundary concerns in the Volta River basin and its downstream coastal area

This is a mid-term evaluation of a UNEP GEF project implemented between 2007 and 2012. The project's overall objective was to enhance the ability of the riparian countries to plan and manage the Volta River Basin and its downstream coastal area (including aquatic resources and ecosystems) on a sustainable basis, by achieving sustainable capacity and establishing regional institutional frameworks for effective management; developing national and regional priorities; and effective legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks and management tools as a basis for action as well as initiating national and regional measures to achieve sustainable ecosystem management.
