CARIB-GEF-Implementation of Adaptation Measures in Coastal Zones The project development objective is to support efforts by Dominica, Saint Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines to implement specific (integrated) pilot adaptation measures addressing primarily, the impacts of climate change on their natural resource base, focused on biodiversity and land degradation along coastal and near-coastal areas. This will be achieved through: (i) the detailed design of pilot adaptation measures to reduce expected negative impacts of climate change on marine and terrestrial biodiversity and land degradation; and (ii) the implementation of pilot daptation investments. Reducing these impacts will primarily result in protection of biodiversity and prevention of land degradation but will also induce economic benefits in the tourism, fisheries, agriculture and forestry sectors, help maintain the resource base upon which these economic activities rely and promote climate resilient sustainable development. More importantly, the experience gained through these local level activities will assist and inform the policy decision making process and is expected to influence the enactment of climate resilient sustainable development policies.

To provide a demonstration effect of company formation in an inhospitable business environment . This will be implemented and monitored among the beneficiary population of start-up firms (around 50 enterprises). (ii)  Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). To provide a demonstration effect of the positive impact of FDI in IT industry. (iii)  Continuous skill upgrading.  To pilot demand-driven mechanisms of continuous upgrading of IT skills of professionals, third year students, and work force and enterprise managers and employees.

Panama Canal Watershed Management Project Project preparation has been delayed by 6 months due to problems in getting the preparation grant effective.  The grant legal agreement was provided to GOP in May 2002 following a two month delay while the Bank completed it's internal dialogue on setting the Standard Disbursement Percentage (SDP) for Panama and the application of SDPs to PHRD grants.  Subsequently, the issue of financing of taxes with GOP funds resulted in a lengthy approval process  on the part of Panama's Ministry of Finance.  It has only been as of mid-November 2002 that Finance has approved the grant agreement for signing and has committed to sign prior to December 15, 2002.  During the delay, the Ministry of Agriculture made substantial advances on the policy and institutional fronts such that conditions for finalizing the design and project documents are good.  An all out effort to finalize preparation and bring the project to the Board will be made during the second helf of FY03.  A December 2002 WB/FAO Investment Center mission to Panama has assisted to establish the conditions locally to finalize the preparation.
