The overall objective is to enhance water resources management and increase capacities for planning and implementing environmental and climate change actions in the Sava River Basin.
The objective of this assignment is to provide technical assistance in updating the 2nd RBMP and the 1st FRMP, and in developing the 1st SMP for the Sava River Basin, aligned with the Framework Agreement on the Sava River Basin (FASRB) and its related Protocols and relevant EU environmental acquis. This assignment will facilitate the identification of common objectives and foster coordinated action across all planning instruments within the region, ensuring integration, consistency and synergies in planning, financing, and policy development. Specific work comprise the following:
- Develop the update of the Sava RBMP with accompanying PoM.
- Develop the update of the Sava FRMP with accompanying PoM.
- Develop the first Sava SMP with accompanying PoM.
- Develop a document to comprehensively outline and analyze the interlinkages between the RBMP, FRMP, and SMP.
- Develop a Joint Plan of Measures (JPM) for integrated management of the Sava River Basin, ensuring coordination of measures implementation, timelines, and synergies across sectors at the national and transboundary levels.
- Prepare a methodology for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of measures by defining indicators that assess their effectiveness and facilitate the adjustment of plans over time.
- Design and implement a comprehensive stakeholder engagement process and public consultation campaigns to support the development of basin-wide plans, ensuring alignment with the EU WFD and FD, based on the FASRB and its related Protocols and common ISRBC practices.
- Develop a Follow-up Strategy on the Sava Planning Process as a structured and forward-looking framework that builds on the outcomes of the Plans to guide future actions, ensure continuity, and enhance the effectiveness of integrated water resources management in the Sava River Basin.
