Mission report on the UNDP Global Environmental Facility Workshop Gaborone, Botswana, 30 October-2 November 1991

Abstract

The objective of this mission was to participate in the UNDP sponsored workshop on Global Environmental Facility (GEF) as a resource person in two areas of my expertise, namely the formulation of the African Common Position on Environment and Development in the context of UNCED preparatory process, and also to advise on strategies for adoption in Africa on limiting emissions of greenhouse gases particularly the sequestration of carbon dioxide. The second objective was to assess the role which ECA might play in the GEF project.
