The Sustainable Development Investment Portfolio Phase 2 (SDIP2) seeks to improve the integrated management of water, food and energy in South Asia, especially addressing climate risks and the interests of women and girls. The investment focuses on the three major transboundary Himalayan river basins – the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra – covering parts of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. SDIP2 is the second four-year phase of an intended 12 year engagement, which recognises that many of the critical interventions required for improving the integrated management of the water, energy and food at the basin level will require sustained engagement to build regional cooperation and capacity over time. The total value of this investment is $46.8 million over 4 years, starting 2016-17.
