ENV. MANAGEMENT PROJ

closed

Over the period of four years the Environmental Management Project will support the development of a national environmental management capacity and help the Government implement the National Environmental Action Plan adopted June 1993. It will in particular pursue capacity building and institutional support, including streamlining and strengthening of national environmental responsibilities, reinforcing policy implementation and coordination mechanisms, promoting better preparation and enforcement of the environmental regulatory framework, developing an effective information system and monitoring and evaluation capacity. The project will also promote public awareness of environmental issues and the integration of environmental considerations in the education system. To achieve these objectives, the project will finance investments designed to: (a) improve the national environmental management capacity; and (b) improve the general level of awareness on environmental issues.
