Demonstrating Solutions
Within the context of foundational projects -aimed at enabling transboundary cooperation among countries sharing a water body, and facilitate agreement on a program of joint management actions- Pilot Demonstrations are intended to provide multiple benefits to allow countries to (i) accrue direct experience on approaches, technologies, practices and organizational settings novel to the region and test their cost effectiveness and feasibility in the regional context, (ii) test cooperative arrangements, (iii) feed into the SAP formulation process.
In the present GEF Drin Project, pilot demonstrations play an important role. Countries are ready and willing to work and experiment together addressing issues that have been identified through previous programs of technical assistance, or that will enhance their ability to move more swiftly along the path of EU accession.
