Terminal Evaluation of the GEF/UNEP Project: Development of Tools to Incorporate Impacts of Climate Variability and Change, in Particular Floods and Droughts, into Basin Planning Processes

This report presents the terminal evaluation of the GEF ‘Development of Tools to Incorporate Impacts of Climate Variability and Change, in Particular Floods and Droughts, into Basin Planning Processes’ implemented by UN Environment between 2014 and 2018. The project was designed to develop tools, methods and training programmes for river basin managers and water supply utility managers to be better informed about likely flood and drought events. The tools integrated data from multiple sources, including satellites, within a Decision Support System and were tested through multiple training and awareness workshops within three river basins to refine the approaches. The tools and associated guidance are operational and available for use by GEF International Waters projects, river basin organisations, water supply utilities and other agencies at regional, national and local levels.
