Establishment of a demand-oriented and regionally harmonized quality infrastructure in Central America. Aufbau einer bedarfsgerechten und regional harmonisierten Quailitätsinfrastruktur in Zentralamerika The Central American Integration Alliance aims to leverage the value of the Free Trade Agreements and thus also expand regional competitiveness. In this setting, the strategic importance and relevance of Quality Infrastructure (QI) development is not duly prioritised on the countries' political agenda. The availability and quality of QI service provision at national and regional levels continue to fall short of the requirements of international markets and consumer protection (core problem) and the search for regional solutions to the quantitative and qualitative bottlenecks in existing QI is poorly developed and unstructured. The module is regionally oriented and includes all member states of the Central American Integration Community SICA. Its sub-unit SIECA is responsible for economic integration issues and is consequently the most suitable political supporting institution. The module's approach consists primarily of process-accompanying advisory services, cross-national and cross-organisational education and training, as well as institutional and professional networking. The approach is linked to the relevant QI organisations in the region (metrology institutes, accreditation bodies, standards institutes, regulatory institutions, private laboratories) and links their areas of responsibility. Das zentralamerikanische Integrationsbündnis strebt an, die Freihandelsabkommen in Wert zu setzen und damit auch die regionale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit auszubauen. In diesem Kontext wird die strategische Bedeutung und Relevanz der Entwicklung der Qualitätsinfrastruktur (QI) nicht in gebührendem Maße auf die politische Agenda der Länder gesetzt. Die Verfügbarkeit und die Qualität des Angebotes von QI-Dienstleistungen auf nationaler und regionaler Ebene bleiben weiterhin hinter den Anforderungen der internationalen Märkte und des Verbraucherschutzes zurück (Kernproblem) und die Suche nach regionalen Lösungen für die quantitativen und qualitativen Engpässe in der bestehenden QI ist wenig ausgeprägt und nicht strukturiert. Das Modul ist regional ausgerichtet und umfasst alle Mitgliedsstaaten der zentralamerikanischen Integrationsgemeinschaft SICA. Deren Untereinheit SIECA ist für die Fragen der wirtschaftlichen Integration zuständig und folglich die bestgeeignete politische Trägerinstitution. Der Ansatz des Moduls besteht vorrangig aus prozessbegleitender Beratung, länder- und organisationenübergreifender Aus- und Fortbildung, sowie der institutionellen und fachlichen Netzwerkbildung. Der Ansatz ist an die relevanten Organisationen der QI in der Region  (Metrologieinstitute, Akkreditierungsstellen, Normeninstitute, Regulierungsinstitutionen, private Laboratorien) angebunden und verknüpft deren Aufgabenbereiche. Quality Infrastructure Institutions in Central America improve their offer of regionally available services. Die Institutionen der Qualitätsinfrastruktur in Zentralamerika verbessern ihr Angebot an regional verfügbaren Dienstleistungen
Identification of Geothermal Energy Resources in Central America Identifikation von Geothermievorkommen in Zentralamerika The module supports the counterpart countries in establishing their own capacities for exploration of geothermal energy fields, in improved coordination of licensing procedures, and in sharing and complementing the varied technical capacities required for exploration in an economically sensible manner. Das Modul hilft den Partnerländern, eigene Explorationskapazitäten für Geothermie-Vorkommen aufzubauen, den Prozess der Konzessionsvergaben besser zu steuern und durch Bildung einer regionalen Arbeitsgruppe die verschiedenen zur Exploration notwendigen Fachkapazitäten wirtschaftlich sinnvoll aufzuteilen und zu ergänzen. The module supports the counterpart countries in establishing their own capacities for exploration of geothermal energy fields, in improved coordination of licensing procedures, and in sharing and complementing the varied technical capacities required for exploration in an economically sensible manner. Die fachlichen Kapazitäten der staatlichen Institutionen Zentralamerikas für die Generierung, Auswertung und Bereitstellung von Geothermiedaten für Konzessionierungen, Projektentwickler und Investoren sind gestärkt.
Livestock: Livestock and Pasture Development Project The objective is to increase the nutritional status and incomes of some 22,400 poor households by sustainably enhancing livestock productivity.
Rural Development: Community-Based Agricultural Support Project The development objective of the Project is to improve access of communities to productive infrastructure and services leading to sustainable agricultural production and equitable returns.
Rural Development: Community-based Agricultural Support Project 'plus' The goal of CASP+ is to contribute to the country¿s shift towards sustainable, low emission development pathways and climate-adaptive agricultural production practices. The development objective of CASP+ is to increase the resilience of ecosystems and livelihoods in rural areas affected by climate change.
Livestock: Livestock and Pasture Development Project II The key objective for component 3 is to increase access to more productive and climate resilient pasture areas as well as to diversified income-generating opportunities for livestock communities through a sustainable, community-led management of natural resources. The participatory planning process will incorporate both climate-resilient pasture management and animal production/health planning, thus linking the work to be done under both first and second components. The component will strengthen the adaptive capacity, governance and management skills of PUUs and their elected Boards (PUUB) and reduce their vulnerability to climatic stress. This will be done by building understanding within their constituent members of the importance of incorporating climate risk reduction measures within CLPMPs and ensuring the long term sustainability and health of pastures and the restoration of pasture landscapes, thus improving livestock productivity and contributing to reduced feed shortfall and income loss.The key objective of component2  is to increase access to livestock and veterinary services, and fodder supply for smallholder producers (mainly households), resulting in decreased mortality and increased productivity of sheep/goat flocks and cattle herds due to the reduced incidence and prevalence of diseases.The key objective of component 1 is to enhance the capacity of targeted public sector and community organizations to be more effective and efficient at pro-poor pasture management development. This investment will primarily focus on the following national institutions that support pasture development: PUUs and their Boards, the MOA and specifically the Pasture Department (once established), the State Veterinary Inspection Services, and the Tajik Agrarian University (TAU). Although the capacity building will be tailored according to the needs and mandate of these institutions, the Project will keep an open and inclusive approach, and will strive to involve other partners that may benefit from the exercise, as appropriate
Rural Development: Khatlon Livelihoods Support Project The development goal of the project is to reduce poverty for 18,750 households in the target districts. The purpose is to increase the profitability of small farms (including household plots) across the project area. In order to achieve this, the project has three components each with an associated outcome, as follows: (i) enhanced capacity of institutions; (ii) improved access by farmers to technologies and productive infrastructure; and (iii) effective and efficient project management.The project has a major institutional development objective, namely the mobilization and federation of 250 village organizations over time, first at the level of the Jamoat (local self-government body) and then at the district level. This will enable them eventually to take over many of the functions performed by the project.
Sustainable Management of Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Services The Sustainable Management of Marine and Coastal Ecosystem Services Project is one of eight core projects that will be implemented under UN Environment&rsquo;s Healthy & Productive Ecosystems (HPE) Subprogramme, and provides an enabling framework for UN Environment to address the ongoing global degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems, and the services that they provide. The ultimate environmental impact that the core project will work towards is &lsquo;coastal and marine ecosystems and habitats are sustainably utilized and rates of degradation are reduced&rsquo; while the development impact is &lsquo;coastal and marine ecosystem services are maintained, enhanced and contribute to societal and where appropriate, economic benefits&rsquo;.
The world&rsquo;s oceans and coasts are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities and the resulting adverse impacts. Overfishing, destructive fishing, and other extractive industries, coastal pollution, marine litter, ocean acidification, and warming sea temperatures, among others, are anthropogenic threats that are negatively impacting the resilience of coastal and marine ecosystems, as well as the human societies that depend on them. Delivery of ecosystem goods and services is thus being compromised, making hundreds of millions of coastal inhabitants, especially natural resource-dependent indigenous people, more vulnerable to threats to their lives and livelihoods. Sustainably managing marine and coastal ecosystems so that they remain healthy and continue providing ecosystem goods and services is integral to achieving sustainable development and a more prosperous future for humanity.
Accelerate the Shift to Sustainable Public Procurement and Monitor Implementation The ability of SPP to transform markets and contribute significantly to the achievement of the development agenda is widely acknowledged. UNEP has been at the forefront of SPP since 2005 and is recognized as an expert organization in this field. UNEP put together in 2012 a methodology to develop SPP policies which has been rolled out in 19 countries up to 2020. UNEP has also built experience in setting up regional cooperation networks in Asia and Latin America. At the global level, our organization produces periodically a global report on the progress of SPP. We&rsquo;ve also developed the methodology for SDG indicator 12.7.1 on SPP which has recently been reclassified as Tier II. 
UNEP launched the first international SPP initiative at Rio+20 in 2012 which transformed into the SPP 10 Year Framework Programme in 2014. This collaborative platform allows numerous exchanges of information and resources to take place. It also contributes to the development of solutions to improve the monitoring and performance of SPP. UNEP is in charge of the Global SPP Monitoring work area of this programme. 
The SPP activities of UNEP contribute primarily to the first expected accomplishment of the 6th sub-programme: &ldquo;Public and private sectors increasingly aware of and support the adoption of sustainable lifestyles and sustainable consumption patterns&rdquo;.
Promotion and Delivery of Environmentally Sound Waste Management Technologies and Methods and in-Country Technical and Advisory Support Exponential growth in waste generation with increasing diversity in its composition results in new complex and other hazardous waste steams leading to severe environmental and public health impacts. For example, e-waste is an emerging waste stream, which is expected to increase due to increased consumption and reduced length of the life cycle of electrical and electronic products. Improper waste management practices cannot only. pollute land, air and water but also impede the provision of basic necessities for public health such as clean water, clean air and safe food and disproportionally affects poorer communities like waste pickers and other vulnerable groups such as recent migrants, unemployed, disabled, or elderly persons, women and children. Global Waste Management Outlook indicates that significant progress has been made in MSW collection in many middle-income countries over the past few years. However, median collection coverage is still around 50% in low-income countries. It is estimated that at least 2 billion people worldwide still lack access to solid waste collection. To improve waste management, a holistic approach based on waste hierarchy approach including 3R is critical, i.e. waste prevention, waste reduction through reuse and recycling, and proper disposal for residual waste. Improved waste management in return will contribute to positive impacts on pollution reduction, public health, vulnerable groups such as women and children, and poverty alleviation.
