Lessons
Findings

Recommendations
1	*Recommendation 1:* Establish a functional bilateral commission to provide regional oversight of IWRM activities (in accordance with UNECE Water Convention).
2	*Recommendation 2:* Adopt and implement recommendations for specific actions identified in the Project’s Exit Strategy, including: Update national EIA regulations to include e-flow Identify investment sources to upscale national actions and provide maintenance and operation budget for existing pilots, groundwater monitoring etc. Further strengthen inspection and enforcement on environmental regulations Continue with national and regional fora as interim measure until bilateral agreement signed Continue the exchange of water quality and quantity data between countries of the Kura River
3	*Recommendation 3:* Develop interim support project to continue the regional SAP implementation in preparation for the establishment of an RBO. Future SAP implementation projects should include activities to assist countries identify long-term sources of finance to fully implement the endorsed SAP. Future regional projects should identify means to capitalize more on the strong capacity existing in UNDP COs to assist execution. The presence of COs is a significant comparative advantage to facilitate solving any political issues that are beyond the competences of a single project
