Knowledge for Managing Local Pollution in LAC

implementation

The broad objective of this technical cooperation is to develop the knowledge that IADB and its clients need to develop efficient and effective policies and programs to reduce local pollution and mitigate its effects on human health. The specific objectives are to foster communication and collaboration among research institutions, the IDB and the policy community, and build the knowledge base on which these stakeholders can draw. These specific objectives, in turn, will be accomplished by funding (a) policy-relevant, rigorous research on local pollution and its links to human health by and/or with key LAC research and policy institutions that are expert on this topic, and (b) networking and workshops and other dissemination activities.
