Project management and implementation

The GIAHS project is implemented by UNDP and executed by FAO in close collaboration and partnership with selected member countries, international organisations, NGOs and representatives of local communities and indigenous peoples.

Partners include UNESCO, WHC, ICCROM, CGIARs, IUCN, NGOs and other international institutions, universities, private sector and civil society organisations, as well as interested donors. An International Steering Committee (ISC) was formed as the umbrella policy body for the project. The committee includes project partners, donors, NGOs, other UN Agencies, CGIAR centres, and other stakeholders, such as the governments of countries with selected priority systems and indigenous peoples' representatives. Technically the project is supported in FAO by an interdepartmental task force and internationally by a technical advisory body consisting of a broad range of stakeholders and experts.
