IWCAM Products

The Global Environment Facility-funded Integrating Watershed and Coastal Areas Management in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (GEF IWCAM) Project was a regional project which took place from 2006 – 2011.  Implementing agencies were the United Nations environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development programme (UNDP).  Executing Agencies were the Secretariat of the Cartagena Convention (UNEP Caribbean Regional Coordinating unit) and the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute (now the Caribbean Public Health Agency – CARPHA).

It had the overall objective of strengthening the commitment and capacity of the participating countries to implement an integrated approach to the management of watersheds and coastal areas.

The 13 participating countries were:  Antigua & Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago.

The IWEco Project was developed to continue the long-term goal of IWCAM of enhancing the capacity of countries to plan and manage their aquatic resources and ecosystems on a sustainable basis.  As such, many of the resources developed by IWCAM remain relevant and useful and are being made available here.
