Twinning Arrangements
The creation of the twinning concept is prompted by the need to manage human activities in an integrated fashion using an ecosystem-based approach. Through the forging of twinning arrangements between and among priority sites within the region, PEMSEA hopes to build south-south and north-south collaboration in managing river basins and coastal areas.
This initiative will also develop stakeholder participatory management mechanisms across legal and administrative boundaries, covering both upstream and downstream activities and impacts of watersheds and catchments. The twinning program will engage a number of sites, and cover site-specific issues through technical cooperation, staff exchanges, study tours. The idea is to accelerate implementation of the ecosystem-based approach to managing river basins and coastal areas and to leverage increased investments in pollution hotspots of the region.
