Environmental Policy and Management ComponentIntroductionThe Environmental Policy and Management Component will support the realization of Vision 2030 in general and, specifically, in the areas of environmental planning and governance, with the assumption that an enabling policy and regulatory framework for environmental and natural resource management, including climate change, is developed and implemented with a poverty orientation. In the First Medium-Term Plan up to 2012 the following strategies under environmental planning and governance will be supported: • Upgrade the capacity of institutions for enhanced environmental data and information coverage and application; • Develop a policy framework to harmonize environmental-related laws and institutions, and promote the capacity for collective enforcement of environmental standards; • Strengthen institutional capacities of multi-sectoral planning and strengthen linkages between institutions of planning and environmental management; • Establish a baseline on the state of the environment for future environmental planning; and • Strengthen negotiating capabilities through top talent development and compliance with Multilateral Environment Agreements (MEAs).
