This first call for projects focuses on the following themes :
- Conservation and restoration of freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity
- Sustainable use and management of water resources; including the prevention of hydroelectric projects with high environmental impact
- The development and implementation of sustainable financing mechanisms for freshwater ecosystem conservation and sustainable water use
