Mainstreaming global environment commitments for effective national environmental management
Project name: Mainstreaming global environment commitments for effective national environmental management
The project has – to date - been marginally successful in achieving its objectives in terms of key targets, developing an effective platform for harmonization of environmental knowledge and management information systems and the procedures that need to be in place to ensure liberal exchange of high quality data and information. The outputs were produced, at least in advanced draft form: SMIN, Environmental Atlas, Roadmap for Change, Catalog and Decrees for the operationalization of the Environmental Framework Act. The Kaplan reports contain the necessary tools for incorporating environmental issues into spatial planning in order to provide an enabling environment for improving planning and decision-making to achieve global environmental problems. However, these outputs have all not been validated and approved yet as official instruments for environmental governance by the GoS. Since the project has received an extension until June 2019, there still is time for this validation and approval, which will solidify the potential impact of the project.
