No	UNEP Cartagena Convention Secretariat	Regional	Promote through targeted training and capacity building concepts such as "Ridge to Reef", "Integrated Watershed and Coastal Zone Management", "Source to Sea" , "Ecosystem Based Management" and "Marine Spatial Planning" and "Integrated Land Use Management". This is well understood within a SIDS context and efforts may focus more on continental countries as far as promotion of the concept.	Moderate Progress	Medium	This has been the core focus of multiple GEF and other projects particularly in SIDS. While the concept is well understood and appreciated in SIDS, more work is needed in continental countries and in the establishment and operationalization of transboundary commissions. More integration is needed between Land Use Planning, Marine Spatial Planning and Ecosystem Based Management approaches. The development of the Regional Nutrients Pollution Reduction Strategy and integration of Freshwater Resources Management into the Cartagena Convention will facilitate greater integrated approaches.	02/06/2021	Links to be provided	IWECO, ACP MEA, CReW+, CLME+	Christopher Corbin
