RG-T3412 : GEF CReW+: An integrated Approach to Water and Wastewater Management using Innovative Solutions and Promoting Financing Mechanisms in the Wider Caribbean Region

The GEF Project "CReW+: An integrated approach to water and wastewater management using innovative solutions and promoting financing mechanisms in the Wider Caribbean Region" will implement innovative technical small-scale solutions in the Wider Caribbean Region, using an integrated water and wastewater management approach and building on sustainable financing mechanisms piloted through the program. The project will include watershed and freshwater basin protection, water conservation and efficiency, and water reuse, and will prioritize technologies for treating wastewater in rural and peri-urban areas that are replicable and sustainable. The GEF approved the preparation of the Full-size GEF Project (see PIF document approved in October 2017). The project will be implemented jointly by IDB and the UN-Environment (previously UNEP), under separate executing schemes but with a common coordination. The beneficiary countries include 13 IDB-member countries, and 5 non-member countries. Activities exclusively directed to non-member countries will be funded under the UN Environment-provided funding.
