Dniester River Basin

The “Transboundary cooperation and sustainable management in the Dniester River basin: Phase III - Implementation of the Action Programme” (Dniester III) is a project funded by Sweden and Finland under the umbrella of ENVSEC and implemented by OSCE and UNECE in close collaboration with authorities and NGOs from the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. It aims to improve the joint management of the basin, mainly through: (a) promoting adoption of the new Dniester River Basin Agreement; (b) facilitating cooperation between the sanitary-epidemiological services of the two States; (c) supporting activities on biodiversity conservation (with a focus on fisheries); (d) facilitating information exchange at the national and basin levels; and (e) raising public awareness and promoting media coverage of the environmental issues of the Dniester River basin.
