Global Environment Facility (GEF) CReW+ Project: An integrated approach to water and wastewater management in the Wider Caribbean Region using innovative solutions and sustainable financing mechanisms
GEF CReW+ is a partnership project funded by the Global Environment Facility that is being co-implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in 18 countries of the Wider Caribbean Region (WCR). The project is being executed by the Secretariat of the Cartagena Convention, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and the Organisation of the American States (OAS) on behalf of UNEP and the IDB respectively.
The 18 participating CReW+ countries (Barbados, Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago) vary geographically from large, continental countries to small island states, with significantly different political, linguistic and cultural contexts.
The main objective of the GEF CReW+ Project is to implement innovative, technical small-scale solutions in the WCR, using an Integrated Water and Wastewater Management (IWWM) approach and building on the sustainable financing mechanisms that were piloted through the Caribbean Regional Fund for Wastewater Management under the first CReW Project.
GEF CReW+ directly supports the fulfillment of Article 7 of the Cartagena Convention, stating that “The Contracting Parties shall take all appropriate measures to prevent, reduce and control pollution of the Convention area caused by coastal disposal or by discharges emanating from rivers, estuaries, coastal establishments, outfall structures, or any other sources on their territories“.
