Project documents
Phases 1‐3
Phase 1: Mainly studies to be carried out.
Phase 2: Risk reduction measures implemented at up to three mining sites, regional replication and dissemination through SEE networks, improved safety
culture at sites of hazardous activities, Dinaric Arc and Balkan ‐ integrated regional environmental and ecosystem services assessments, improved
cooperation on Transboundary River basin management, strengthened cross‐border dialogue and cooperation on prevention of illegal logging, increased
civil society involvement in addressing environment and security challenges, means and mechanisms in place for effective consultation and cooperation
among governments, civil society organizations and private sector, support of effective information policies, analysis of priorities and hotspots regarding the
security impact of climate change, analysis of priorities for improved resilience to climate change in hotspots relevant for security, support of regional
cooperation and dialogue on climate change scenarios and strategies, etc, etc.
Phase 3: Component 1:
‐ At least 150 persons directly involved in project‐related activities and trained in different environment and security related issues, with spill‐over effect on a
minimum of 300 persons.
‐ At least 4 regional consultation events are held.
‐ At least 10 nationally based stakeholder events held.
‐ ENVSEC website and regional communication are established and maintained on a regular basis (updated at least once per month).
‐ Regional cooperation mechanism through Regional Desk Office function strengthened, providing more means for cooperation and support of ENVSEC
National Focal Points.
‐ Corresponding training materials and curriculum developed.
‐ Intensified cooperation, liaison and exchange of experiences with other international partners and initiatives present in the region.
‐ Strengthened cooperation and involvement of civil society organizations as well as other stakeholders in the ENVSEC activities.
Component 2: Detailed basin‐wide adaptation strategy, including an implementation and resource mobilization plan.
Phase 1:
Hotspots:
‐ Targeted assessment of transboundary environmental and health risks resulting from mining.
‐ Development of the policy and technical options suitable for the region and choice of demonstrations or pilot activities.
‐ Increase of capacities to address problems at regional/local level.
Biodiversity:
‐ Development of a network of mountain protected areas in the region as a regional platform for cooperation / capacity buidling.
‐ Support of concrete cooperative initiatives.
‐ Organization of capacity‐building on environmental and biodiversity issues.
Phase 2:
‐ Management and reduction of transboundary risks from hazardous activities.
‐ Management of shared natural resources.
‐ Strengthening of regional cooperation in environmental governance through participatory and informed decision‐making and implementation processes.
‐ Adaptation to the impacts of climate change in order to reduce security risks in SEE.
Phase 3:
Component 1: Prevention and mitigation of transboundary environmental risks interlinked with security risks, particularly those relating to the management
of transboundary risks from hazardous activities, management of shared natural resources, adaptation to climate change and promotion of participatory and
informed decision‐making and implementation processes (=continuation of previous phases).
Component 2: Support regional stability in the Dniester basin through the facilitation of transboundary cooperation for adaptation to the consequences of
climate change on water resources (= new component).C82
Similar target groups in all phases: population of the recipient countries and region and especially at the sites of hazardous activities / protected natural
resources.

Phase 3
It appears that Phase 1 mainly produced feasibility studies and did not fully achieve the planned objectives. For Phase 2, the evaluation from 2013 states that
the planned objectives were implemented. The annual report lists a number of activities implemented successfully, but due to the complexity of ENVSEC and
the number of donors involved, the accuracy of the report is difficult to assess. The impression gained during the current evaluation is that, at least in the
countries visited, several of the formulated outputs and hence also the outcomes of Phase 3 have not been achieved yet. Many activities seemed not to have
been carried out in all countries, e.g. in Kosovo the two focal points representatives neither participated in the ENVSEC regional meeting in 2014 nor will
they participate in 2015, activities like training sessions for local authorities on the impact of climate change, or national workshops to discuss potential
climate adaptation measures. Focal Point representative involvement in sectoral policy as planned in the logframe of 2012 has also not yet been realized, nor
are there any plans to insure this representation.
In Alania in the current phase there is a focus on the nexus approach (water‐energy‐food) in relation to climate change; a workshop was held in Durres on
May 12, 2015 with the following results: a) very limited engagement in climate change so far; b) the region procures no funds from the adaptation fund; on
July 1, 2015 there was a regional meeting on climate change adaptation; there will be a series of meetings on the regional level to draw up a SEE 2020 strategy
for the Regional Cooperation Council in Sarajevo.
The outcomes and outputs were overly ambitious and could hardly be expected to be met, at least in the countries visited.
Only given for Phase 3:
‐ Institutional support and readiness of relevant authorities to engage in regional cooperation and resources made available for participation in the project
activities.
‐ Beneficiaries will be willing to cooperate and give access to information in a transparent manner.
‐ Active and responsible Focal Points identified in each of the beneficiary countries.
‐ Relevant authorities will be willing to enable all stakeholders to take part in project activities and be able to allocate resources to implement the project.
‐ Smooth and regular communication.
‐ Observance of deadlines from all actors involved in the implementation.
‐ A high level of involvement, cooperation and participation of all the stakeholders.
For Component 2:
‐ Political will to agree on measures between countries
‐ Relative stability of state administrations in both countries, continuity with regard to local and national staff
‐ This component will support the implementation of some priority adaptation measures in the Dniester – availability of funding for implementing the entire
strategy
